DUTCH JAZZ ORCHESTRA

PORTRAIT OF A SILK THREAD: NEWLY DISCOVERED WORKS OF BILLY STRAYHORN

Description:
This is a historically significant CD for it features the Dutch Jazz Orchestra performing a dozen Billy Strayhorn numbers, including eight that 28 years after the composer's death were finally receiving their world premiere recording. The 16 piece big band does not attempt to sound like Duke Ellington's Orchestra but there are strong hints of Duke's ensemble in the arrangements.
