Tribute to Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn

Arcata Playhouse

As Creative Sanctuary wonders what the heck to do in this crazy present moment, honoring some ancestors seems apropos. As they’ve done for two years running, the house band (sometimes known as the Humboldt Jazz Collective) will honor Duke Ellington his closest collaborator, Billy Strayhorn (Composer of Take the A Train among many other Ellington hits).

The ensemble will include James Zeller (trombone and a few vocal features), Tree (viola, chromatic harmonica, saxophones), Brian Post (piano), Lee Phillips (double bass), and Ramsey Isaacs (drums), with special guests Miles Schmidt (tap dancing) and Katie Belknap (clarinet, bass clarinet and vocals).

The band will also be joined on at least one song by members of the Harambe Youth ensemble, including Josh and Joah Nicely (trombone and alto sax) and Harambe music instructor Olivia Obidah (trumpet).
