Harmony In Harlem
Harmony In Harlem is a 16-piece jazz orchestra specialising in the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, directed by Michael Kilpatrick, whose research on Duke's manuscripts and recordings has resulted in a repertoire unique amongst jazz orchestras. From the 'jungle sounds' of the Cotton Club era through to the esoteric 'Such Sweet Thunder' of the late 1950s and beyond, we can present a vibrant and gripping performance of music from the greatest bandleader/composer in jazz history.
The orchestra, based in Cambridge, performs regularly across the East of England.
