ellington/strayhorn nutcracker

Back in 1960, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn got the idea to do some jazz interpretations of the Nutcracker Suite. This year, some cats from the SA jazz scene decided to get hold of those charts and put on a show.

It's this very weekend, Friday, December 4th and Saturday the 5th, at the perennially cool Josephine Theater. Check my events page for more info. Meanwhile, Jim Beal Jr. wrote a nice piece on us on the front page of SA Life, in the Express-News. Check it out — and we'll see you there.
