Almost 60 years ago, in January 1966, Barcelona hosted a historic concert: the Duke Ellington Orchestra performed at the Palau de la Música Catalana. The impact was so great that the concert promoter, Joan Roselló—also owner of the Jamboree—decided to launch that same autumn the then-called Barcelona International Jazz Festival.

 

To celebrate that historic moment, the Sant Andreu Jazz Band—which this year was invited to the Essentially Ellington competition, being the only European band to receive this invitation from Jazz at Lincoln Center and Wynton Marsalis—offers us an anthology journey through the work of one of the greatest musicians in history, Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington.

 

Under the direction of Joan Chamorro and with new arrangements that will premiere that day, it is time to take the train (it’s a metaphor, you understand) that will take us to another historic night at the Palau, led by the best young big band in the world.
