Duke Ellington's Sacred Concert
with the Big Buzzard Boogie Band
Soloist Jacqui Dankworth
A joyous celebration of freedom with the Big Buzzard Boogie Band
injecting some serious soul into the proceedings. You'll believe an English
choir can really swing! Big Band jazz featuring a choir is an unusual mixture,
but one which can produce a truly thrilling sound. Stunning improvised solos
from trumpets, trombones and saxophones, with a superb rhythm section
behind fantastic jazz vocal harmonies. Dancing in the aisles encouraged.
Manchester Cathedral
