When Eric Boeren assembles a cast of musicians to play the music of Duke
Ellington and Billy Strayhorn you know it won't be your father's Ellington. Well,
unless your father is very, very hip. You probably already expect this, knowing
Boeren has been a mainstay of the new Dutch swing for decades. With his All
Ellington tentet, he relies on a cast of skilled improvisers to enliven music
written and recorded fifty, sixty, seventy and even eighty years ago.
