SUMMARY:Lewes Big Band - Jazz Planets
DESCRIPTION:Lewes Big Band Presents: Pete Long's "Jazz Planets"\n\nBar from

 £8) www.ticketsource.co.uk or Con Club bar.\n\nJoin the Lewes Big Band f
 or an extraterrestrial journey as they perform Pete Long’s Jazz Planets
  in addition to some of the biggest and best Big Band hits by Duke Ellingt
 on\, Count Basie and more!\n\nGustav Holst and Pete Long\, two musical leg
 ends\, have merged together to create an out-of-this world fusion of Class
 ical and Jazz. Following on from Duke Ellington’s success in merging Cla
 ssical and Jazz with his works of Nutcracker and Peer Gynt\, Pete Long’s
  re-imagination of Holst’s Planet Suite (1918)\, Jazz Planets\, is set 
 to become a classic of our time.\n\nThe Lewes Big Band was formed in 2019 
 as the Lewes Youth Band\, since then they have gone on to play at Glyndebo
 urne Opera House\, Con Club Lewes and All Saints Lewes. The Lewes Big Band
 ’s musicians include graduates or current students across many of the UK
 ’s leading music institutions such as\; Royal College of Music\, Royal B
 irmingham Conservatoire\, Guildhall School of Music and Drama\, Royal Wels
 h College of Music and Drama\, Leeds Conservatoire and BIMM.\n\nPopular sa
 x player Pete Long is the musical director of the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Or
 chestra\, and for the last thirty years he has been researching and re-cre
 ating the music of Duke Ellington. Whilst driving in his car\, “Venus”
  from the Planets Suite by Holst came on the radio. It suddenly struck him
  how Ellingtonian the curves of the melody were\, and how Holst’s warped
 \, flowing harmonic symmetry was so redolent of that of Ellington’s comp
 osing partner\, Billy Strayhorn.\n\n* For your chance to sponsor a seat in
  the Lewes Big Band\, please select 'Sponsor a seat' whilst selecting your
  ticket type. For prices starting from £50\, you will be entitled to two
