Time & Location Sep 27, 2025, 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM Nelson University - Sheaffer Center, 1260 Savell Cir, Waxahachie, TX 75165, USA About the event The Duke Ellington Orchestra continues to inspire and delight aficionados around the world over a hundred years after Duke founded it in 1923—and his legacy is alive and well in the hands of his grandson, Paul Mercer Ellington.

For more information on the Duke Ellington Orchestra, visit https://dukeellington.com/. Note - this performance will be held in Nelson University - Sheaffer Center. Tickets Ticket type Duke Ellington Orchestra Sale ends Sep 27, 6:00 PM

I'm sure Kid Rock Sings the Music of Billie Holiday will more than compensate.

I'm not familiar with the Ghost Train Orchestra, but I note that their program at Big Ears will consist of compositions of Moondog.

Tubby Hayes Quintet, Antibes '62

Awesome!

No streaming unfortunately.

Recently I've stayed at the Marriott Knoxville Downtown, but I booked a couple of months ago. It currently has only a few rooms left at a pretty exorbitant price.

Per Big Ears on facebook, the schedule will be announced much sooner this year: "These will not go on sale until after we announce the weekend schedule, which will come sooner rather than later (in a couple of weeks or so)."

I would note that the festival website only has nine available hotels, none of which are downtown.

Agreed! Not that I particularly care but the Robert Plant and David Byrne concerts are separately ticketed.

It definitively travels the spaceways.

Still going strong. Terence Blanchard writes: I am really honored to have been invited to perform with Abdullah Ibrahim in honor of his 91st birthday at Jazz at Lincoln Center on October 3 & 4 at 7:30 pm. I will be performing with Kenny Garrett, Cecil McBee- Bass and Ekaya. Cape Town-born pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim, is celebrating a remarkable 75-year career that has profoundly shaped the global jazz landscape. Ekaya—meaning "home" in isiXhosa - music is a blend of African rhythms and jazz that creates a deeply personal and spiritually resonant musical experience.
