Celebrating Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn

Christian Sands, piano
Yasushi Nakamura, bass
Clarence Penn, drums

Six-time Grammy nominee Christian Sands is a jazz force. His abundant piano technique perfectly matches his conception: a fresh look at the entire language of jazz. Whether it’s stride, swing, bebop, progressive, fusion or Afro-Cuban, Sands develops the past while providing unusual and stimulating vehicles for the present and future.

Freedom and Joy: Duke Ellington, Joseph Haydn, and Voices of Color in American Music is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
