GJC Big Band: Holiday Swing featuring Duke Ellington's "Nutcracker Suite"

On December 6, the Greenville Jazz Collective Big Band will perform the complete original score of the Duke Ellington re-creation of the Tchaikovsky Nutcracker Suite at Poe Mill Music in Greenville.

You’ll hear familiar melodies in a new way…even with new titles to match the imaginative twist put on them (can you guess what “Sugar Rum Cherry” is based on?). Fanfares, tambourines, a bamboo whistle, and a hard-swinging rhythm section all make their appearances in this dreamworld a “melting pot of musical styles past and present” (NY Times).

So you've got one chance to hear it. Don’t miss it (or you might find yourself on the naughty list!)

Tickets available in advance or at the door, until tickets are sold out.
