Trumpeter and band leader CHRIS COULL leads his octet in a “Tribute to the Duke” where he has faithfully transcribed original 20’s, 30’s and 40’s Ellington gems into a distillation of tunes arranged for this four horn front line to create a fitting musical eulogy to the great man. Expect a chronological, informed and sophisticated journey from The Duke’s beginnings at the Cotton Club, through to his popular war time hits. The line-up will be: GABRIEL GARRICK & CHRIS COULL, trumpets; ANDY PANAYI, alto sax and clarinet; MIKE PILLEY, trombone; TERRY SEABROOK, piano; RHYS LOVELL, double bass; PETE CATER, drums; and LUCY PICKERING, vocals.
