Written for jazz big band, vocal soloist, choir and tap dancer, its rarity is not surprising. Both serious and swinging the music is reverent and hip: encompassing jazz, classical music, choral music, spirituals, gospel, blues and dance. Ellington called it “the most important thing I have ever done”. Www.aberdeenjazzfestival.com
