Our friendly ushers will greet you and assist you in finding your way to your seats – there’s not a bad seat in the house! \nOur audience is diverse and you will see patrons of all ages and walks of life\, including couples\, singles\, students\, families\, and groups of friends – jazz has never met a stranger and all are welcome.  Many of our guests are tourists visiting Charleston\, and some of our regular attendees have been coming to concerts since the beginning of the organization.  We hope that you will become one of our “regulars” as well by joining the Charleston Jazz family by becoming a Season Subscriber\, Member\, Sponsor\, Donor\, Student or Advertiser.  There is a place for YOU at Charleston Jazz. \n  \nI have been a season ticket holder since the inception of Charleston Jazz Orchestra for many wonderful reasons. The caliber of performances are spectacular. Their musical selections appeal to all musical tastes regardless of age. The Music Hall is the perfect venue for such a group of phenomenal artists. \n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \nLil H.\, Google Review \n  \nWe love the Charleston Jazz Orchestra!

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. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1699547689781{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nListen to Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite on Spotify!\n[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1699547701461{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nWatch this clip from Holiday Swing 2022!\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/i9QRvth6868″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_gmaps link=”#E-8_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”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1674170606429{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Charleston Music Hall \n37 John Street\, Charleston\, SC 29403 \ncharlestonmusichall.com \n  \nParking: \nCamden Garage\n47 John St\, Charleston\, SC 29403 \nCharleston Visitors Center Parking Garage\n73 Mary St\, Charleston\, SC 29403 \nMarion Square Garage\n399 King St\, Charleston\, SC 29403[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

While his musical repertoire spans a broad range of styles\, he says that growing up in the African American church in Charleston\, SC\, has greatly influenced him. In an interview with the Post and Courier\, Doctor says: \n“I grew up playing in church\, and that experience is easily the No. 1 influence on me as a musician. Playing in church taught me how to adapt on the spot\, how to play with a band\, and how to follow a leader\, among infinite other things. Growing up in the African-American church in Charleston\, though\, has shaped me in the Gullah/Geechee style of music and culture. Everything I play\, no matter the genre\, roots back to that for me because that’s a part of who I am.”  Source: Post and Courier \nA highly sought-after musician\, bandleader\, arranger\, and producer\, Doctor currently leads Charleston Jazz’s new electric jazz ensemble\, Momentum\, and is a favorite guest performer with the Charleston Jazz Orchestra. \nDemetrius attended the Charleston County School of Arts\, where he received numerous musical awards and recognitions for his work in piano and tuba. He went on to receive his B.A. in Music from the College of Charleston and later his M.A. in Music Technology from Coastal Carolina University. \nThe artist’s musical journey has given him the opportunity to work with gospel artists like Tye Tribbett\, Jonathan Nelson\, and Duranice Pace\, as well as jazz musicians like Fred Wesley and Freddy Cole. Demetrius has toured Italy\, Spain\, Croatia\, and the United States. \nDoctor currently serves as Minister of Music at Royal Baptist Church in North Charleston\, SC\, and sits on the board of Charleston Jazz. Doctor can be found playing in multiple venues and settings in and throughout the Charleston area.
