Get into the spirit of the season with this uplifting program of soulful and swingin‘ big band jazz versions of holiday classics. Come witness this spectacular 17-piece band composed of the region's top jazz artists as they perform music from Duke Ellington's album The Nutcracker Suite, Sammy Nestico‘s arrangement of “Jingle Bells,” Gordon Goodwin’s reimagining of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” and other holiday standards that have been performed by legends such as Count Basie, Maynard Ferguson, and Ella Fitzgerald.
