Tom Harrison Quintet featuring Cleveland Watkiss: The Music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn
In a stunning new project from rising star saxophonist Tom Harrison, a chordless lineup of five unique instrumental personalities will interpret the music of the great Duke Ellington.
They’ll be joined by internationally renowned vocalist Cleveland Watkiss. Described by The Evening Standard as “The best male vocalist in Britain,” Watkiss famously won Best Male Vocalist at the Guardian Jazz Awards three years running.
Expect some of the lesser known tunes from the great composer’s repertoire, alongside classic favourites.
“The sign of a good gig is when you leave the audience baying for more...a masterly performance of musicianship and vocal dexterity” Michael Edwards, UK Vibe
