Speakeasy 7, a fresh jazz septet emerging from the talented ranks of the Wilmington Big Band, fills a distinct niche in the local Wilmington music scene, offering an engaging ensemble that's larger than a typical trio but more intimate than a full big band. With a repertoire spanning the golden age of swing, jazz, and ragtime, to the vibrant sounds of funk, Motown, and reimagined modern pop classics, Speakeasy 7 promises an unforgettable musical journey, rooted in the classics yet infused with exciting new interpretations.
