Nostalgia In Grand Place : Duke Ellington • Tribute
Pascal Mohy (p) ; Timothé Lemaire (trb) ; Sam Gerstmans (b)
At the very top of the pantheon of jazz composers stands Duke Ellington. His big band remains the ultimate reference: he laid the foundations for everything that followed in the genre, creating his own style and leaving an indelible mark on the repertoire with more than 1,000 original compositions and contributions as co-signer or arranger to over 2,000 others. He is, without question, the most prolific jazz musician in history.
The strength of his melodies allows this unique formation to pay tribute today: the warm trombone sound of Timothé Lemaire, the harmonic elegance and unmistakable swing of Pascal Mohy, and the virtuosic foundation of Sam Gerstmans come together to celebrate the master’s legacy.
