Live Music
The Jazz Repertory Company: 1956 - A Jazz Jubilee
Cadogan Hall
Featuring the music of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie and Duke Ellington, Jazz At The Philharmonic and more, performed by the 17-piece Pete Long Orchestra.
1956 was an excellent year for jazz with many fantastic albums released. In this concert we'll be revisiting five of the very best: Ella Fitzgerald's Cole Porter Songbook, Count Basie's April in Paris and The Atomic Mr Basie, Frank Sinatra and Nelson Riddle's magnificent Songs for Swinging Lovers.
Plus Duke Ellington at Newport, his live album that captured the jazz highlight of the year when his orchestra made a dramatic comeback with a stunning performance that featured the extraordinary Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue.
In addition, we'll give you a taste of Jazz at The Philharmonic, which in the 1950s brought the finest American swing and be-bop stars to the world.
Pete Long directs his big band, Iain Mackenzie sings Sinatra, Vimala Rowe sings Ella, and there are a few extra 1950s surprises along the way. Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes including interval.
