Duke Ellington
by
Hear Duke Ellington and his orchestra in a dated radio recording associated with New York City. Ellington’s music brings together a distinctive ensemble sound, with the band’s instrumental colors and rhythmic interplay at the center of the listening experience.
This is a musical broadcast rather than a spoken-word reading. The recording offers a glimpse of Ellington’s work as a bandleader and composer, with the orchestra carrying the program through its performance.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
