Program Description
Event Details
Celebrate America 250 with the sounds of classic American jazz, together with newer sounds that chase the bounds of musical possibility.
In 1977, Yale’s Redhot & Blue was founded to pay homage to the great American jazz pioneers—Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday, to name a few. They sang jazz like it was 1917, and Cole Porter had just graduated from Yale. Forty years later, Redhot & Blue’s distinct arrangements and award-winning sound continue to look back to the greats while also including a wide variety of genres, from Broadway hits to the Beatles to Britney Spears.
