Program Description

Event Details

Hailed for “infectious brio” (The New York City Jazz Record), The Bloom/Funkhouser Duo (Peter H. Bloom, flute; John Funkhouser, piano) will celebrate the great Duke Ellington and his esteemed co-composers Billy Strayhorn, Juan Tizol, and Mercer Ellington.  Expect a high-energy show of classics like "Caravan", "In a Sentimental Mood", I’m Beginning to See the Light, and "Take the A Train", plus rare gems like “Depk” and "Isfahan". Peter and John have been praised for “swinging performances” (Textura Magazine), and called “a fine partnership, one that brings some serious spark to these tunes.” (AllAboutJazz)
