Concert of Duke Ellington's Sacred Music

Ellington's wonderful "Sacred Music" is both serious and swinging. It is a reverent and hip body of jazz composition, written late in his career, for jazz big band, vocal and instrumental soloists, gospel choir, and tap dancers.For the past 20 years Earshot Jazz has presented an annual concert of Ellington's Sacred Music. The concert features the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, co-directed by Michael Brockman and Clarence Acox. Many of Seattle's favorite jazz artists are featured on this special concert as well as guest vocalists.
