Classical and Jazzy Nutcracker at Roitenberg Assisted Living, Minneapolis

Our “Pages of Music” learning program, “The Classical and Jazzy Nutcracker,” compares Tchaikovsky’s original holiday classic with Duke Ellington’s brilliant jazzy takes on Tchaikovsky’s scintillating melodies. We also give background on both composers. tell the Nutcracker story, and discuss what makes something “jazzy”
