Celebrate International Jazz Day AND the 5th Anniversary of Keystone Korner Baltimore this coming April 30th with Charles Funn & The Funn Band as they play the music of Duke Ellington!

The true “King of Swing”, and one of the greatest composers and creative forces, Duke Ellington was one of the originators of big-band jazz. Ellington led his band for more than half a century, composed thousands of scores, and created one of the most distinctive ensemble sounds in all of Western music.

Charles Funn, a graduate of Morgan Stage College is a retired band instructor (44 years) with the BCPSS. In addition to being a music instructor, he is a practicing professional musician having played behind and with Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, & more.
