Join us for a celebration of music made famous by the legendary Duke Ellington Orchestra. From the enchanting allure of Mood Indigo to the infectious swing of It Don’t Mean a Thing, we present small group arrangements of Ellingtonia.
Following on from the band’s previous sell out shows at the Vortex featuring the music of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter and Thelonious Monk , we return to present a celebration of another of the all time jazz greats. Expect some well known favourites and a few less commonly played tunes as we spend an evening with one of the iconic figures of 20th century jazz.
