Ellington In Anticipation

I've been looking at some of Duke Ellingtons wonderful music recently and after fiddling around with it and deconstructing it somewhat have come up with a series of pieces that I'm really excited about . The arrangements along with a couple of original tunes of mine  will form the basis of a new CD that I'm hoping to record in February 2012, have some  amazing musicians involved : Seb Rochford ( drums) Liam Noble ( piano) Tom Herbert (bass) Emma Smith ( violin) Finn Peters ( alto) and James Allsop ( clarinets). We did our first gig at the Vortex on November 14th, here's a little taster , my arrangement of Caravan!
