SNJO PLAY STRAYHOR
The Scottish National Jazz Orch tra ‘ave included the music of jazz composer Billy Strayhorn in som of their Ellington programmes, but their latest outing will focus on some of the less well-known discoveries unearthed by researcher Walter van der Leur, who will
direct the band in these concerts.
His researches in the Ellington archives have revealed that Strayhorn wrote considerably more thanwasonceassumed to betbecase, and .. .. was by no means simply an alter ego to the Duke. His musicological excavations have combined with the biographical work of David Hadju to flood new light on Strayhorn’s music, his role in jazz, and the true extent of his contribution to the Ellington Orchestra. Van der Leur has already recorded some of this music with the Dutch Jazz Orchestra, and the SNJO will also be joined by American clarinettist John Ruocco (pictured) for this exciting revelation of some of the many gems by one of jazz’s greatest composers.
