DAVID DUVALL CELEBRATES THE SONGS OF DUKE ELLINGTON

Act2PV is delighted to host the fabulous David Duvall in a delightful once-a-month concert series that focuses on popular composers and songwriting teams who contributed to The Great American Songbook!  This month, Duvall will present a show featuring the songs of one of the greatest composers and jazz pianists of all time, DUKE ELLINGTON!  He created such timeless hits as It Don’t Mean a Thing, Caravan, Mood Indigo, Prelude to a Kiss, Satin Doll, plus many, many more!  Duvall’s special guest singer this month is Fernanda Hernandez,  backed by Danny Lopez Arganis on bass and Dannyju Lopez on drums, and Duvall on the piano.  Each of his concerts is a delightful afternoon of music, stories and fun!

Before moving to Puerto Vallarta, Duvall performed in countless nightclubs and theatres across the US, and has been described as “a gifted story-teller in both song and backstage stories,” with a “smooth, rich voice,” who is “among the great interpreters of Cole Porter’s lyric.” After 45 years of studying/arranging/singing the works of these iconic writers, Duvall has gained an incredible insight into this type of music. His unique ability to share stories and anecdotes about the writers and their creations is reminiscent of Bobby Short’s renowned performances at New York City’s Cafe Carlyle.
