The Aardvark Jazztet is a noted sextet drawn from the internationally acclaimed Aardvark Jazz Orchestra (“lush sonorities and a saxophonic blend worthy of Ellington’s finest reed sections” Jazz Times). The Aardvark Jazztet (from the famed Aardvark Jazz Orchestra) will perform hits by Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Fats Waller, others, and music by Mark Harvey, July 29 in Claremont NH and July 30 at St Gaudens National Historic Site, Cornish NH.
The July 29 show will include hits like In a Sentimental Mood by Duke Ellington, Ain’t Misbehavin by Fats Waller, and A Foggy Day by George Gershwin, plus Mark Harvey’s Claremont Suite, originally written for the Claremont 250th anniversary in 2014. On July 30, the group will perform Summertime by George Gershwin, Night and Day by Cole Porter, and C Jam Blues by Duke Ellington. The show will feature the world premiere of Mark Harvey’s piece honoring Augustus Saint Gaudens, called SGS (Saint Gaudens’ Studio), commissioned for the occasion....
