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.
