SUMMARY:JazzMN Orchestra Presents: Sinatra | Ellington
DESCRIPTION:The region’s premier big band celebrates two titans of 20th Century jazz!\n  \nFrank Sinatra and Duke Ellington were two of the most prolific artists of their time. However\, they met in the studio only once: 1968’s Francis A & Edward K. Here\, the JazzMN Orchestra will perform tunes from each of their catalogs in an inspiring homage to the golden age of jazz! \nThe JazzMN Orchestra has presented over eighty concerts in its main series since its inception in 1999. Also\, they perform often at festivals around the Twin Cities. Moreover\, the music performed by the JazzMN Orchestra spans from the beginnings of jazz to contemporary works by today’s composers. The Orchestra has featured international jazz artists like Randy Brecker\, Kurt Elling\, Mike Stern\, Arturo Sandoval\, Gordon Goodwin\, Phil Woods\, Nicholas Payton and Paquito D’Rivera. \nSinger and pianist Andrew Walesch combines the sophistication of a cosmopolite with the self-effacing charm of a country boy. Appearing with the JazzMN Orchestra\, the consummate showman puts his own stamp on the Blue Eyes tradition\, bringing warmth and unmistakable personality to the music. For this performance\, Walesch turns to one of his favorite Sinatra albums\, celebrating a record—and an artist—that have long been close to his heart. \nDrummer Joe Pulice is one of the region’s elite percussionists. Also\, he has played drums for the JazzMN Orchestra for over twenty years. Pulice toured with Woody Herman’s Thundering Herd\, and world-renowned drummer Eric Kamau Gravatt’s group Kamanari. Additionally\, Pulice toured with Jack McDuff’s Heatin’ System and with vocalist Bernadette Peters. Also\, Joe has won two Minnesota Jazz Music Awards. \nRecommended for fans of Vanguard Jazz Orchestra\, Bing Crosby\, Buddy Rich and Michael Bublé.
