The Marcus Shelby Orchestra and special guests present The Legacy of
Duke Ellington: 50 Years of Swing! From 1924 until his passing in
1974, Duke Ellington was one of the world's most prolific, inventive
composers. He wrote for the Cotton Club, theater on Broadway, dances
at the Savoy Ballroom, and later he composed film scores, ballets,
tone poems, suites, sacred music, and much more. Bay Area jazz great
Marcus Shelby and his orchestra headline this specially curated,
all-star concert, celebrating the legacy of America's jazz master,
with music that spans from 50 years of his career.
