Dixie & Swing Festival – James Morrison rocked the audience

It’s no wonder that this concert had the audience on their feet, as the multi-instrumentalist (in addition to the trumpet, James Morrison also plays the trombone, euphonium, flugelhorn, saxophone, piano and probably every other instrument you can put in his hands) promised “All of me” right at the start. And he kept this promise right up to the last and vehemently demanded encore. From standards such as Duke Ellington’s “Caravan” and George Bassman’s “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You” to classics by Louis Armstrong (all in the maestro’s original arrangements, of course) to bebop, traditionals and finally his own compositions, which impressively demonstrated Morrison’s diverse skills.
