James Morrison - Tribute to Duke Ellington
James Morrison has established himself as one of the world¹s
great trumpeters and performers. He regularly stuns audiences with
his warm, funny and brilliant shows. A musician almost without
peer, his technical virtuosity on a range of brass instruments is
unmatched. In this tribute concert to the music of Duke Ellington,
James will be supported by The Christchurch Jazzharmonic Orchestra,
which is being formed especially for the event.
Conducted by Tom Rainey, the ensemble will also include a core
of local Jazz musicians. The programme for this concert features a
mix of arrangements from James Morrison's orchestral catalogue and
a few arrangements and original compositions from Christchurch
writers.
