| Performance Notes | Jazz, showbiz swagger and spirituality come together as never before in Duke Ellingtons spectacular Sacred Concerts.
Described by Ellington himself as the most important thing I have ever done, these sacred revues, blending big-band jazz, gospel and Broadway-style melodies, bring all the legendary musicians originality and energy to Christian subjects, and generated three critically acclaimed, boundary-crossing albums.
Drawing on these, the Proms premieres a brand-new Sacred Concert an exhilarating evening of dance, song and spectacle. |
