Marcus Shelby Orchestra: 'The Legacy of Duke Ellington: Fifty Years of Swing!'

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.
