Celebrating the Duke's Birthday on KDVS

Show Description for Wednesday 04/29/2009 This morning we will be celebrating the birthday of the greatest composer to emerge from the United States of America, Duke Ellington. We will provide a special focus on the small groups lead by his sidemen throughout the early 40's as well as his duets with his right hand man, Billy Strayhorn. Also included will be the remarkable series of recordings made for Columbia, including The Clothed Woman, Golden Cress and On A Turqouise Cloud. In addition we will hear from Ellington vocalists, Joya Sherill, Kay Davis and Al Hibbler.
