Duke Ellington was one of the most popular and prolific composers, pianists and big band leaders in the world. A&T’s Jazz Orchestra commemorates Ellington with “A Salute to Duke” directed by A&T Music Department adjunct professor and director of jazz, noted jazz trumpeter and composer Mondre Moffett. Moffett performed with the Duke Ellington Orchestra, from 1995 to 2000. Ellington’s music is so rich and varied that it really is a treasure trove of very artistic entertainment and music education at the same time. The first half of the concert features music by other jazz greats such as John Coltrane and W.C. Handy, leading up to the exciting Salute to Duke. |
