From the Promoter
THE REVIVAL ENSEMBLE (soundcloud.com/tedcrosby)
Led by reedist Ted Crosby, interprets and re-imagines the works of great composers with a focus on free improvisation and contemporary composition. The group will be tackling Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's landmark 1967 album, the Far East Suite. The piece was inspired by the Ellington Orchestra's trip to Asia and the Middle East and sought to give portraits of various places the band visited. While Revival will stay true to Ellington's themes, the ensemble will explore the idea of travel and exploration into unknown territory deriving from their own experiences in our modern world.
