NotesThe Novel Jazz Septet will be in performance at the live music venue, Cadenza, in Freeport, ME on 10 July at 7PM. The Septet is celebrating 22 years of keeping the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn “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 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. Tickets are general admission and advanced discounted at $15 (+ ticket fee) for students, $30 (+ ticket fee) for all others or $35 at the door.
For more information, call the Cadenza box office at 207-560-5300 or navigate your browser to https://www.cadenzafreeport.com/. To find out more about the band, navigate your browser to https://www.mainejazz.net/. Cadenza is located at 5 Depot Street, Freeport, ME 04032. Remember, “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing! So, swing-on over to Cadenza on 10 July for some classic jazz by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn!
