SUMMARY:Local History Presentation: Glen Island Casino
DESCRIPTION:In the '30's and '40's\, if you wanted to see the up-and-coming 
 band of the year\, you went to Glen Island. Glenn Miller almost quit the 
 business before he got this gig. Other big bands who hit the big time here 
 were Ozzie Nelson\, Les Brown\, Charlie Barnet\, Tommy Dorsey\, and Claude 
 Thornhill.  The Thornhill band\, with Lee Konitz on alto and Gil Evans 
 arranging\, led to the Birth of the Cool recordings of Miles Davis in '49.  
 In the Big Band Era\, Glen Island Casino was The Place!  And before?  In 
 the 19th Century\, the island was a theme park with a German Castle (still 
 standing) and a natural history museum. Was it the first theme park ever? 
 \n\nPresented by Barbara Davis\, Executive Director of the Westchester 
 County Historical Society and New Rochelle City Historian\, Patrick 
 Raftery\, Associate Director and Librarian of the Westchester County 
 Historical Society\, and Frank De Ligio of Jazz Conversations.\n\nSponsored 
 by the Greenburgh Public Library\, New Rochelle Public Library\, Mamaroneck 
 Public Library\, & Mount Kisco Public Library\n\n
