# Event Details

- **Event Name**: 2026-03-13 Fri | The Pocket Ellington | Derby Chapel Street Arts Centre
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 am
- **Event Description**: The Duke Ellington Orchestra was one the pillars on which the house of jazz was built.

Born out of saxophonist Tony Kofi and pianist, arranger Alex Webb’s shared love of that music, The Pocket Ellington manages what ought to be impossible – creating a classic Ellingtonian sound with just four horns and a rhythm section.  But with the help of Alan Barnes, veteran bassist Dave Green and powerhouse drummer Winston Clifford this band delivers. Great charts from the 1930s and 1940s – Main Stem, Rain Check, Cotton Tail, Chelsea Bridge and others – are presented in clever new arrangements which evoke the period but also offer solo space to these top-flight musicians.  The repertoire also includes pieces from artists and arrangers who were influenced by the Duke – Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk and Gil Evans.  It’s a big sound from a pocket band.

Alex Webb (piano)

Dave Green (bass)
