jazzbo Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 CBS "Sunday" just did a nice two minute tribute to Duke. . . . One complaint: very interestingly they showed Duke accepting the medal of freedom from Tricky Dicky, and interestingly they showed him outlining the "four freedoms". . . but they didn't mention that those were STRAYHORN's (or were they?). Strays gets "shadowed out" again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Duke Ellington and his Orchestra perform 'Flamingo' with singer Herb Jeffries for soundies in late 1941. The Lawrence Brown and Johnny Hodges contributions are pure heaven! It's Junior Raglin on bass. Duke Ellington 1941 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Looks like a great show, Steve. I really like that Betty Roche take on Strays' song, and the Von Freeman "Sunrise" is very moving--a fave of mine among modern-day Duke interpretations.

Lazaro Vega Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Looks like a great show, Steve. I really like that Betty Roche take on Strays' song, and the Von Freeman "Sunrise" is very moving--a fave of mine among modern-day Duke interpretations. Kurt Elling sets the poetry of Rumi to that Von Freeman solo on the new Elling CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look forward to hearing that... haven't had a chance to listen to the whole CD yet, but just taped "The Waking" for an Afterglow show. Nice musical setting of a Theodore Roethke poem.
