HELP!

[Guest]

Hi.

I'm a student currently doing a profile of Duke Ellington and need some quotes and thoughts from Jazz fans about him. All I need is a short paragraph about your thoughts on him, his music, the impact it had, what you like about his music etc.

If ANYONE can help me and do such a thing I would be so appreciative, then please can you email them to me ASAP to:

sjanoble@uclan.ac.uk

Thanks very much!

SJA Noble.

Please don't be put off if you think it's a long thing to do.

It can be as simple as "Love his music, has had great influence on *insert name here*. A real Jazz legend."

I just need a soundbite from a live source.

Thanks again.

There are many Ellington related threads here; you can probably use the "search" button and find many.

I realise this.

But I'm a Journalism student and need a unique source, which is why I need someone to email me something unique from themselves which other people couldn't use by coming on here and looking up the same thread.

Infact, if you can email me at:

seb_noble@hotmail.co.uk instead then that'd be great, my other email is down.

"me likey Duke" - nah, that's been used before -

one suggestion I would have would be to find somebody who's still alive and who worked with Duke - but you better move fast as they're dropping like flies -

Well, I sent a brief thought and I hope some other people here will find the time to do the same. There should be 5 minutes left for most people here to help an aspiring journalist out. We're not THAT busy (as hanging around here all day long proves).

I sent a short email.
