Jump for Joy!

Jump for Joy (Duke Ellington/Sid Kuller/Paul Webster/arr. Eden MacAdam-Somer)

Performed by Eden MacAdam-Somer

This recomp of Ellington's work was inspired during a Contemporary Improvisation production at new England Conservatory in 2011. Thanks to Anthony Coleman for suggesting an exploration of Ellingtons influences, including African American Spirituals and folk dance traditions.
