The Coastal Jazz Association presents a tribute to Duke Ellington on Sunday, April 27, 2008. This event will be celebrating the legacy of one of America’s greatest musicians/composers for what would have been his 109th birthday (born April 29, 1899).
Every year The Savannah Jazz Orchestra, under the co-leadership of Teddy Adams and Randy Reese, features both unfamiliar compositions and special guest artists as a part of enhancing the genius of every Ellington concert.
This will be CJA’s 22nd year paying tribute to Mr. Ellington.
(PLEASE NOTE VENUE CHANGE!) This special concert will be held on Sunday, April 27, 2008, 5:00 p.m. at the Armstrong Atlantic State University “Armstrong Center,” at 11935 Abercorn Street next to the main AASU campus (ce.armstrong.edu/facilities/armstrongcenter).
It is free and open to the public and is presented by the Coastal Jazz Association through a generous grant from
the City of Savannah Cultural Affairs Department.
