Stefon knocked it out of the park when he performed with his quintet during our 05/06 season. And as terrific as that was, his new project raises the music to a completely new level. Take "one of the most important young artists in jazz" (Los Angeles Times). Have him re-imagine the late suites of the great Duke Ellington. Then have him compose his own work in response. Finally, have it all performed by an ace hand-picked nine person ensemble. All this, plus passionate artistry, energetic stage presence and astonishing virtuosity, and you get the must-see Stefon Harris and African Tarantellas... Dances With Duke.
