Scottish National Jazz Orchestra: In an Ellington Mood - £27, £22, £10 (students and children)

The SNJO makes a welcome return to the Laidlaw Music Centre following their sold-out concert in December, 2022. Recreating Duke Ellington's music has become one of the SNJO's greatest successes. The album In the Spirit of Duke, recorded on tour in Scotland during October 2012, captures the internationally acclaimed, award-winning orchestra at its best, delivering the authentic Ellington experience in the repertoire spanning the jazz legend's entire career. Joined by gospel-influenced vocalist Lucy Anne Daniels and with meticulous
attention to period detail, including the stage set-up, the sartorial elegance, specially sourced period brass mutes and scores specially transcribed from Ellington concerts, In an Ellington Mood presents exhilarating and satisfying orchestral jazz.
