It is exciting to learn of a new orchestra playing Duke Ellington's music. News of concerts at The Town Hall, Birmingham and Southport Jazz Festival on 3rd and 5th February respectively, came with news that the Birmingham Conservatoire Ellington orchestra seems to be a permanent fixture on the scene. From the Birmingham Conservatoire Magazine on Issu, we note:
"The Orchestra has been established to form an integral part of the Conservatoire's Jazz Department and to be a regular fixture in the Eastside Jazz Club of the new Conservatoire Building..." Great news!
