The Roosevelt High School Jazz Band will perform the Jazz Nutcracker on December 5th and 6th.

The Nutcracker Suite by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn is a 1960s take on Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. The Roosevelt Jazz Band is one of the few bands in the United States to have the score.

Ellington reworked Tchaikovsky’s tunes into swinging versions; ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ becomes ‘Sugar Rum Cherry’ and ‘Arabian Dance’ is now ‘Arabesque Cookie.’

Performances are scheduled for Saturday, December 5th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 6th at 2:00 p.m. in the Roosevelt High School Performing Arts Theatre – 1410 N.E. 66th St.

Tickets are required and seating is unassigned. $15.00 adults, $12.00 students and seniors.
