On July 27, 2023, I had the pleasure of attending a one-night-only, 90-minute show by The Duke Ellington Orchestra Quintet at the Criterion Theater in Bar Harbor, Maine. And what a show! It was everything good and great about live jazz and watching seasoned musicians at home on the stage, with their instruments, and with each other. These guys—Shelley “The Showstopper” Carrol (tenor saxophone, flute, and vocals), Andre “Big Butter” Hayward (trombone), Robert Red (piano), Hassan J.J. Wiggins (bass), David F. Gibson (drums), and Paul Mercer Ellington (bandleader)—were there to have fun and take the audience along for the ride.
