This video of Duke Ellington, the great pianist, composer, bandleader, has so many pearls of wisdom and makes you nod your head and smile. Whether Duke is talking about what he fears, what he loves, how categorizing music falls short, race relations, or his dreams for the future….this video shines a light on it all.
We will definitely be tackling some Ellington’s music in our Jazz Workshop series happening in Lebanon, NJ, July 11-15, 3-5 pm, or at our Bridgehampton campus, July 18-22, 3-5 pm.
Enjoy!
