Born out of a love of the music of the great Duke Ellington, The Pocket Ellington manages what ought to be impossible. Great charts are presented in clever new arrangements which evoke the period but also offer solo space to these top-flight musicians. Their repertoire also includes pieces from artists and arrangers who were influenced by the Duke – Mingus, Monk and Gil Evans. It’s a big sound from a pocket band.
