NotesNovel Jazz Septet celebrates the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn!
Novel Jazz will be in performance at Hill Arts in Portland on Saturday, 2 May, 2026, for a matinee beginning at 2PM. First and foremost, they will be celebrating Duke’s birthday as well as the timeless music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. The Novel Jazz Septet is a tribute band with the mission to keep Ellington and Strayhorn’s music “alive and swinging”. Between them, Duke and Strays wrote several thousand compositions over their musical careers, two percent of which represent the well-known standards and 98% of which represent rarely heard gems.
The septet will perform, live, standard tunes from the Ellington/Strayhorn repertoire plus newly arranged compositions that they have unearthed from original recordings, as well as manuscripts from the Ellington Archives of the Smithsonian Museum of American History and the Strayhorn Collection at the Library of Congress, both in Washington D.C. Novel Jazz members have dusted these pieces off, rearranged them for the septet, and given them a 21st century sound, all of their own.
This show is an OFFICIAL Portland, Maine celebration of International Jazz Day, a day declared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization "to highlight jazz and its diplomatic role of uniting people in all corners of the globe." The idea came from jazz pianist and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Herbie Hancock. Jazz Day is chaired by Hancock and the UNESCO Director-General. The International Jazz Day celebration brings together jazz shows from places far and wide...Ireland, Iran, Kenya, Lichtenstein, Rwanda, Namibia, New Zealand, you name it!
For more information, call the Hill Arts box office at (207) 347-7177 or navigate your browser to https://www.thehillarts.me/. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door (general seating). To find out more about the band, navigate your browser to https://www.mainejazz.net/. An example of their music can be found at: https://youtu.be/N933VXCB3WY Hill Arts is located at 76 Congress Street, Munjoy Hill, Portland, ME 04101. As Duke said, “There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind!” So, swing-on over to Hill Arts on the Sunday, 2 May, 2026, 2PM to hear some really good music by two icons of jazz, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn! Come celebrate the Duke’s birthday and International Jazz Day, all at the same time!
