Thursday 8th September - Sarah Moule & Simon Wallace Trio celebrate the Genius Of Duke Ellington
The music of Duke Ellington has been inspiring singer Sarah Moule and pianist Simon Wallace ever since they both discovered jazz. Together they celebrate the genius of ‘The Duke’ and his right-hand man, Billy Strayhorn, two of the most respected and prolific song writers of the jazz era. Numbers such as It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing and Take The A Train, show why the Ellington Orchestra’s music has been described as one of the most important contributions to American culture.
