Bassist, bandleader and educator Marcus Shelby and his fabulous orchestra pay homage to one of the greatest artists in jazz: Duke Ellington! America’s most celebrated jazz composer — with over 3,000 compositions to his credit — Ellington was heralded as “beyond category,” and provided the world with some of the most enduring melodies ever written. Join us as we celebrate Black History Month with the music of Duke Ellington!
