Ottawa Jazz Orchestra

Duke Ellington’s Far East Suite

Inspired by the 1963-64 world tours of the Ellington orchestra, the “Far East Suite” is a captivating masterpiece that vividly captures the sounds and sights that enchanted Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn during their travels through countries such as Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Afghanistan, India, Iran, and Japan. Despite being one of Ellington’s most beloved suites, it is very rarely heard live.

Join a 15-piece band from the Ottawa Jazz Orchestra for a thrilling all-Ellington programme featuring selections from Afro Bossa, Queen’s Suite, Latin American Suite, New Orleans Suite, and more, and then culminating in a complete performance of the seminal Far East Suite in all its groovy glory.
