SEVENTEEN top musicians bring swing-era jazz to life with a repertoire of Duke Ellington compositions at a night of fun, dancing and food at Bar 'B' Cambridge, on Tuesday, January 22.
The charity benefit evening to raise funds for the Prospects Trust recreates the atmosphere of the 1930s Cotton Club.
The Prospects Trust (www.prospectstrust.org.uk) and its 18-acre organic market garden at Snakehall Farm in Reach works with people who have learning difficulties, providing training and jobs in horticulture.
The music for the charity gig comes from Michael Kilpatrick's jazz orchestra, Harmony in Harlem (www.harmonyin
harlem.co.uk), a Cambridge-based ensemble dedicated to the music of Duke Ellington, and includes music suitable for dancing the lindy hop, jitterbug as well as slow dances.
In between the sets of jazz, a benefit auction of promises will be conducted by Martin Millard of Cheffins.
