The Novel Jazz Septet

The Novel Jazz Septet returns to the Frontier Cinema, Café and Gallery on Saturday, July 6, 2012 at 8:00 PM to feature the swinging music of the great American jazz composer, Duke Ellington, plus fellow co-composer, Billy Strayhorn. The band will highlight well-known tunes, plus rare, vintage gems, recently unearthed from original scores at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. and re-interpreted for you at Frontier. Aimsel Ponti of the Portland Press Herald hails Novel Jazz, "These are all seasoned jazz guys, and the result is a sound that made me sway, smile, groove, slow-dance with myself around the living room and play the air snare drums". Novel Jazz travels far and wide, keeping the spirit of Duke and 'Sweet Pea alive and swinging!
