$Conrad Tao & The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra | Gershwin\u2019s Rhapsody in JAZZ$

Rhapsody in Blue is new again, 100 years later. The Soraya recreates the rarely performed original 1924 version of the rousing and raucous classic, originally composed by Gershwin for a jazz band, not the orchestral version more commonly performed. Conductor Chris Rountree leads the swinging ensemble, with Conrad Tao at the piano. The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra rounds out the evening with more charts from Gershwin and his contemporaries.
