Recreating the trio format of her ‘Love You Madly’ album that marked the centenary of Ellington’s birth (with Tony Coe and Brian Priestley – 33 Records, 1999) Louise will be drawing on the talents of United States reeds (and stupendous clarinet) player Frank Griffith, and pianist Richard Wetherall. Twenty years on, and even better!
LIVE SHOW IS NOW SOLD OUT. Livestream available here https://www.facebook.com/jazzleeds
We celebrate the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn with the classics (and some forgotten masterpieces) that forged jazz – from Mood Indigo, Take the A’ Train, Lush Life to the rarely performed Rhumm Bop (‘Drum is A Woman’) and The Blues (Black, Brown & Beige’).
Louise Gibbs has a timbre, a worldliness of expression, which is ideally suited to Duke’s music” – Alun Morgan, Blue Light, UK Duke Ellington Society
