About the Show

In 1956 Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong went into the studio and created the iconic album Ella & Louis. The CJRO small band will perform music from this historic album in an evening of classic songs written by composers including Irving Berlin, the Gershwins and more. Mary Louise Lee and Robert Johnson are both well-known Colorado artists and have occasionally performed together for over 30 years. Having the pair collaborating on Ella & Louis will be a performance you will not want to miss!

Founded in 2012 with the mission to perform the best music with the best musicians, the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra does just that and more. Exciting world-renowned guest artists and many of the best local jazz musicians perform anything from rollicking big band classics to modern large and small ensembles to enthusiastic crowds across the state.
