Ellingtonia

Orbert Davis’ Chicago Jazz Philharmonic presents the World Premiere of ELLINGTONIA. A tribute celebrating the music, life, and legacy of the one and only, Duke Ellington.

“The collective joie de vivre and virtuosity of the seven-piece ensemble was more than enough to carry a lively — and nearly sold-out — performance.”

— Hannah Edgar, Chicago Tribune
