Overview
A concert presenting Ellington's Nutcracker Suite, a jazz reworking of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker music, performed at Cadogan Hall in London.
Ellington's Nutcracker Suite draws on the Duke Ellington Orchestra's 1960 jazz adaptation of Tchaikovsky's ballet score. Ellington reshaped the familiar movements, such as the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Waltz of the Flowers, into swing and big-band arrangements, a project that remains a reference point for jazz treatments of classical repertoire.
The programme is built around this material, so listeners who know the original ballet will recognise its melodies in a jazz idiom. The concert is presented as a tribute to Ellington's reworking rather than as a performance by the original orchestra.
Cadogan Hall is a concert venue at 5 Sloane Terrace in Chelsea, south-west London, and the evening suits those who enjoy big-band jazz and Christmas-season repertoire.
