On the 1960 album "The Nutcracker Suite" Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn revisited the original Tchaickovsky and molded his familiar themes to a swingin' jazz setting. The Victoria Jazz Orchestra will be presenting this music at Hermann's Jazz Club on November 24 They gave new titles to the movements and rearranged their order.
The sequence in the Ellington-Strayhorn Nutcracker runs: Overture Toot Toot Tootie Toot (Dance of the Mirlitons, or Reed-Pipes) Peanut Brittle Brigade (March) Sugar Rum Cherry (Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy) Entr'acte The Volga Vouty (Russian Dance) Chinoiserie (Chinese Dance) Danse of the Floreadores (Waltz of the Flowers) Arabesque Cookie (Arabian Dance) The second half of the program will consist of some of Rob McConnell's arrangement from the Boss Brass Christmas album.
