The JazzMN Orchestra pays tribute to Frank Sinatra and Duke Ellington with a set of their songs.
JazzMN Orchestra is playing The Dakota on Monday, October 26, with singer Andrew Walesch and drummer Joe Pulice. The evening is a tribute to two of jazz's biggest pillars, Frank Sinatra and Duke Ellington, and the ensemble performs their work side by side.
That's the core of the night: Sinatra and Ellington sharing the same set. The orchestra frames the show around the two, playing pieces from each throughout the performance rather than splitting the evening into separate halves. It's a way of hearing them together, one after the other, in the same room.
On the stage, the JazzMN Orchestra handles the arrangements, with Andrew Walesch on vocals and Joe Pulice on drums. The orchestra provides the full sound, and Walesch takes the lead on the Sinatra side of things, while Pulice holds down the rhythm section. Between them, they run through the Ellington and Sinatra catalogs, moving from one to the other as the set goes.
