“I beg you to call to mind the table covered with your last Christmas gifts…” Thus we read in E.T.A. Hoffmann’s Christmas fantasy “The Nutcracker and the King of Mice.” Since this story first appeared in 1816, Hoffmann’s Nutcracker tale has appeared in many forms, most famously in Tchaikovsky’s ballet. Masterful jazz artist Duke Ellington in turn created an impressive jazz interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s classic musical work, one which is up-tempo and brassy.
…the Eric Felten Jazz Orchestra performs Tchaikovsky’s Christmas classic brilliantly in the Ellington style with jazz riffs, loud brass, flashy saxophone work, and riveting drum solos.
