About Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite

Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite is truly a masterpiece. In 1960, Ellington and his collaborator, Billy Strayhorn, arranged Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet music into a jazz suite, which has since become a holiday classic. The Nutcracker Suite showcases Ellington’s signature style of big band swing, bluesy melodies, and complex harmonies, while still paying homage to the original classical work. The result is a delightful and unique interpretation of the beloved Nutcracker story, with each movement bringing a fresh and exciting jazz twist to the familiar tunes.

Listen to Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite on Spotify!
