Monday, October 28, 2024

The SNJO follows its internationally acclaimed album, "In the Spirit of Duke" by honouring Ellington masterpieces with special guest, vocalist Lucy-Anne Daniels.

We have received the following press release;

‘Remembering Duke’ is back

Our 2024/25 season started off brilliantly with the successful Steppin’ Out series featuring Kurt Elling and the outstanding debut performance of TSYJO at The Cumnock Tryst Festival – thank you to everyone who came out to hear us. We’re now looking forward to our Remembering Duke series, where both TSYJO and SNJO will pay tribute to Duke Ellington’s timeless music in unique ways. We hope you can join us!

One of jazz’s greatest composers, Duke Ellington continues to inspire the SNJO. With music representing his fifty years as a bandleader, performed with vitality, swing and meticulous attention to detail, these concerts showcase this titan’s depth and diversity.

Prefaced by the Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra reinvigorating Ellington classics and rarities, including Caravan, Brasilliance, Carnegie Blues, I Like The Sunrise, and Purple Gazelle, the SNJO follows its internationally acclaimed album, In the Spirit of Duke by honouring Ellington masterpieces with vibrancy and featuring special guest, vocalist Lucy-Anne Daniels’s gospel-fired delivery.
