An originator of big-band jazz, Duke Ellington was an American composer, pianist and bandleader who composed thousands of scores over his 50-year career.
A major figure in the history of jazz music, his career spanned more than half a century, during which time he composed thousands of songs for the stage, screen and contemporary songbook.
He created one of the most distinctive ensemble sounds in Western music and continued to play what he called "American Music" until shortly before his death in 1974.
Join us as we pay homage to The Duke with a special performance by Chattanooga's own, Booker Scruggs Trio!
DOORS OPEN AT 7:30pm. Performance begins at 8:00pm
