Happy 110, Duke

Posted on May 1, 2009 by Bob

If Duke Ellington were still alive, he’d be 110 years old today.

I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like to see and hear real music.

    My DirecTV includes XM, and I often find myself listening to “40′s on 4″ which stretches back to the ’20′s on occasion.

    That man was INCREDIBLE! REAL class act. I love how they honor him with the Washington D.C. Quarter (yes, I enjoy the state quarters). I studied all the Jazz greats a few years back in a Jazz Appreciation community college course, using a pretty thick Ken Burns book. It was fantastic

    Real music is all that is spoken here.

    Art Tatum was on earlier, now groovin’ on some Monty Alexander.
