Earshot Jazz presents…

24th Annual Concert of Duke Ellington’s Sacred Music

Saturday, December 22, 2012
Town Hall Seattle, 7:30 PM

Ellington’s wonderful “Sacred Music” is both serious and swinging. It is a reverent and hip body of jazz composition, written late in his career, for jazz big band, vocal and instrumental soloists, gospel choir, and tap dancers.

For the past 23 years Earshot Jazz has presented an annual concert of Ellington’s Sacred Music. The concert features the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, co-directed by Michael Brockman and Clarence Acox, guest vocalists Everett Greene, Nichol Veneé Eskridge, and the NW Chamber Chorus, and special guest tap-dancer Alex Dugdale.

Tickets: $15-$34

New York jazz pianist and organist George Colligan is presently on the faculty at Portland State University in Portland. He’s recorded over 20 CDs on his own and appeared as sideman on many more in addition to concerts with many of today’s top jazz headliners. He brought Portland guitarist Dan Balmer with him for an Earshot Festival engagement at Tula’s this Fall, and Seattle drummer John Bishop rounded out this new variation on the classic organ trio. The trio played several of George Colligan’s original compositions in each set.

The George Colligan Organ Trio was recorded for Jazz Northwest and an hour-long set will air on 88.5 KPLU on Sunday, December 2nd at 2 PM Pacific Time. The program will also stream live at kplu.org, and a podcast will be available after the broadcast. Jazz Northwest is recorded and produced by Jim Wilke, exclusively for KPLU.

“Across oceans or across towns, French Horn players find one another. They all dwell, after all, in a curious musical isolation” writes Peter Monaghan.
