Reminiscent of the forties with the electrifying essence of the present is what makes this dynamic brother and sister vocal duo known as The Savoy Ellingtons unique. April Ellington and Edward Ellington Jr. “Heirs To The Jazz Throne” take you on a musical tour from the time when music was music and elegance the fare of the day and transports you to now! Today! The Savoy Ellingtons, approach and treatment of a lyric is always with deft and understanding. Their diction, phrasing, and sense of melodic structure is clear and precise. Along every note of the way no matter what the song, it is their song and belongs to no one else. Each has their own legion of followers and are winning new adherents every day. The Savoy Ellingtons has that “touch of greatness” reserved for a few. Though April and Edward have their styles individually, the blend of the two makes for a magical performance.
