Essentially Ellington 2015 Competition
Beloit Memorial High School Jazz Band I
Friday, May 8, 2015

Duke Ellington’s music is at the very heart of America’s 20th-century musical heritage and the core of the rich canon of jazz music. Jazz at Lincoln Center, committed to instilling a broader understanding of this music, created the Essentially Ellington program (EE) during the 1995–96 school year to make Ellington’s music accessible to as many high school musicians as possible and to support the development of their schools’ music programs.

2:10 when she bends her knees and one of her fellow players is like “yeah girl yeah!” Truly shows the power of jazz and how amazing of a genre of music it really is :)

As a Memphian and tenor sax player, I approve. Great work, and awesome saxophone section.

These kids are musical 'reincarnates'
of Duke Ellington's members.

The damsel captures the essence of tone, articulation, melodic sweetness and improvisational acumen of Johnny Hodges on alto saxophone.

The trumpeter is older than he is old: Edison, King Oliver, Louis... are heard in his playing.

Good Job!

Thanks for posting!

Way back in the day when this music was first played, those guys were about this same age. It can still be done given a chance.

Oh My, they just slay this song, from beginning to end. Perfect tempo and patience throughout, and shout out to the pianist, she kept the whole performance together.
