NEW YORK—Identical twin jazz musicians Peter and Will Anderson portray two giants of American big bands—‘Count’ Basie, whose ‘instrument’ was his amazing big band orchestra, and Duke Ellington, a legendary jazz composer and pianist—in “The Count Meets the Duke.”

The creatively crafted show, perfectly packaged for everyone in town for the holidays, is playing until Jan. 3, 2016, at the cool, cozy space of 59E59 Theaters.
