Fairview Baptist Church Marching Band
The Fairview Baptist Church Marching Band, also known as the Fairview Baptist Church Brass Band, was a group of young musicians organized in 1970 by banjo- and guitar-player Danny Barker. Based out of the Fairview Baptist Church in New Orleans, Louisiana and led in performance by trumpeter Leroy Jones (who was thirteen when Barker recruited him), the band gained considerable popularity in New Orleans and became a regular feature on the city's music scene.
