About the Performance:

• Matt Skelton directs this special matinee performance, featuring selections from Oliver Nelson’s landmark suite for jazz orchestra Afro-American Sketches. This represented Nelson’s first full recording of original big band material and explores racial and political themes that galvanised much of his work. Sketches, composed and recorded in 1961, came out of Nelson’s time studying the musical traditions of nearly 200 African tribes. Its seven movements follow a story that begins on the African continent, suffers the evils of slavery, experiences the temporary joy of rediscovered freedom, expresses the pain of societal oppression, and looks with optimism toward a future that embraces equal rights for all people.
