The Hounds
May 1, 2014 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15The Hounds take to the Ellington stage to play their brand of modern-trad. Tonight’s concert will explore a new perspective on the music of Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton and Mingus as only the hounds can.
The hounds are a 6-piece modern-trad group made up of musicians who play music in the style and spirit of the traditional jazz masters but with a modern jazz twist. They pride themselves for high energy and entertaining performances feeding on swinging melodies, raucous group improvisation, a driving rhythm section and a touch of humour.
