It’s great to watch these youngsters playing jazz and having so much fun!

Watching this video “WOW” this gave me so much to look forward to in the future. A great deal of optimism for the American art form. These guys are brilliant.

[@giannimaisano-torres1833]

Thanks! We really tried to play our hearts out and find that almighty groove. I appreciate your comment!

[@johnevans191]

I lost track of all the Essentially Ellington performances during COVID etc. Looking forward to the middle of May for a new season 2024.

[@danielibarra0796]

The girl is a really great singer.

[@matthewsaxman1028]

Don't think I've ever seen a jazz band perform from memory before. Interesting!

[@tesmith47]

jazz is almost always done from memory

[@elgrupocachedallas9685]

I think even pro big big bands typically have charts out, so I thought that was admirable that they were playing their parts from memory.

[@matthewsaxman1028]

@@tesmith47 Lol, sure...

[@sp9459]

⁠@@tesmith47 no only solos are improvised but they normally have charts
