Happy Birthday, Duke!
Duke Ellington was born on this date 125 years ago. Today also marks the 7th anniversary for podcast/blog Ellington Reflections.
I’m currently editing my Cootie Williams biography and securing the necessary image permissions, so it may be a few months before the podcast episodes return. In the meantime, please enjoy 2019’s birthday episode which can be found above. (Sidenote – the Cootie Williams CD compilation has received its first review.)
There are several fine Ellington birthday print celebrations. Start with John Edward Hasse’s WSJ article. Duke’s place of birth weighs in with this Washington Post tribute. The Chicago Tribune published a critic’s personal Ellington journey here. And finally, Daily Kos remembers Duke at the end of Jazz Appreciation Month (April).
Love you madly!
