Mr Sun Plays Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite

Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite contains some of the most beloved, familiar melodies in the Western world. Mr Sun, featuring Darol Anger, violins; Joe K. Walsh, mandolin; Grant Gordy, guitar; and Aidan O’Donnell on bass, has seized upon the inspiration of Duke Ellington’s brilliant, sly and urbane re-interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Suite as an opportunity to salute and re-invent this wildly multi-faceted work anew, through the lens of the American String Band.
