Black Eagle Jazz Band

The Black Eagle Jazz Band played its first gig on the Peter Stuyvesant boat which used to be moored alongside the Pier Four restaurant in Boston harbour. The date was 30th September, 1971. Before this there was the Black Eagle Jazz Band which was led by Tommy Sancton. Tommy was from New Orleans and while attending Harvard University in 1969 or 1970 put together a band with Tony Pringle on trumpet, Jim Klippert on trombone, Eli Newberger on piano, Dave Duquette on banjo and Ray Smith on drums. This band, the Black Eagle Jazz Band, used a number of string bass players if they were available - Joe Sah or Norm Stowell. In 1970 the band took up residence in Passim''s Coffee House across from the Harvard Coop in Cambridge and played there until they broke up in late spring 1971. During 1970 there were two changes in personnel. Peter Bullis replaced Dave Duquette who moved to Dallas, and Pam Pameijer replaced Ray Smith. (Ray is the drummer with and leader of The Paramount Jazz Band). Also during 1970 Tony changed from trumpet to cornet. In late 1970 the band acquired a singer - Bonnie Bagley. This band with Chester Zardis on bass played at the 1971 Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans. Chesterlater came up to Boston and played at Passim''s, a party at Harvard University, in Needham with a band featuring Stan Vincent and Stan MacDonald (later of New Black Eagles) and also recorded with the band.Immediately after the New Orleans appearance, which was the swan song of Tommy''s band, there was a gig in Worcester by the Boston Bayou Jazz Band. This band featured Tony Pringle, Pam Pameijer, Peter Bullis and Eli Newberger from the old Black Eagle Jazz Band. Added were Stan Vincent on trombone, Stan MacDonald on clarinet and soprano sax, and Norm Stowell on string bass.
