Bloom/funkhouser Duo at Church Of The Ascension Knoxville

About

Friends of Music and the Arts presents the Bloom/Funkhouser Duo in an exhilarating tribute to Duke Ellington and his extraordinary collaborators Billy Strayhorn, Juan Tizol, and Mercer Ellington. Peter and John bring virtuosity and inventiveness to beloved classics like Take the A Train, Caravan, Things Ain’t What They Used To Be, Prelude to a Kiss, In a Sentimental Mood, and Strayhorn’s lush ballad Chelsea Bridge. The duo’s CD, Exuberant Ellingtonia (Americas Musicworks, 2022), has been called “a dream list of fabulous vehicles for short composition and improv segments, miniatures that ring out with the exceptional evergreen brilliance of the works" (Gapplegate Music Review).
