Duke Ellington

Money Jungle is one of the greatest jazz albums of all time.

Goat

“At least one day out of the year all musicians should just put their instruments down, and give thanks to Duke Ellington.” - Miles Davis

this that through the legs arm in the hoop shit

father

i lve him so much i wnat to cry

it's a shame lots of people are missing out his best work only because it's not available on album format. of course, some of his post-bop albums are extraordinary, and it's quite impressive that ha managed to stay avant-garde for so many decades, colaborating with Mingus and Coltrane, etc. but his best contribution to the world is swing. listen to the blanton-webster band and enjoy some delicious tunes.

Good times - gute Zeiten

foo

That's why he's the goat

for sexy ppl only

Far East Suite is still his masterpiece and one of the greatest concept albums in jazz history

Hey how’s it goin

Newport '56 is so good!

MY BOY DUKE

Великое произведение Caravan звучит даже в мультфильме "Ну погоди!". Кажется такое замечание смешным, но для сверх консервативного и цензурированного СССР, включение джазовой композиции в общедоступный мультфильм - огромный прогресс, а заодно признание маэстро Эллингтона .

With a voice like Ella's ringing out, there's no way the band could lose.

♥♥♥

I think Duke Ellington's and Duke Ellington & His Orchestra's scrobblings should be merged

"The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse", besides his greats, is a fun album to listen to.

'Take The A Train' convinced me that I could love Big Band. https://dozensofdonuts.blogspot.com/2018/07/grab-bag-july-18.html

in a Duke mood again; never a dull moment :)

legend indeed

Legend.

Long live the Duke ! Great inventor of great original melodies and everlasting sounds !

Happy birthday Mr. Ellington, April 29th. And tomorrow, April 30th, will be The International Jazz Day.

Love this Music

"Fuck you LAST.fm. No wonder you are LAST!" ayy

@twajjo What the hell are you talking about? The site's not without its flaws but the scrobbler works fine except when there are technical issues, which happen with every website/program/app from time to time. Anyway, I can't say enough great things about Duke Ellington. It would be almost impossible to overstate Ellington's importance to Jazz/American music. I would say that he's the best American composer of the 20th century, possibly the greatest American composer of all time, and very likely the most important musical figure of the 20th century as well. His significance as one of the first black composers/musicians to be recognized as a great artist is imperative, too. He made masterpiece after masterpiece and incorporated countless styles of music into his own work, always retaining his own personal style and vision. If there were a Mt. Rushmore for American music his would have to be the first face to be chiseled into its side.

И здесь российские тролли уже отметились! Имхо, классика жанра! Хоть пальцы до костяшек сотрите и клаву до дыр! )))

Yes definitely

I wish that Last FM scrobbler actually fucking worked, then it might help people find good music; but, sadly, it does not. That's why people who follow my blog have NEVER heard of a great artist like the DUKE, Fuck you LAST.fm. No wonder you are LAST!

atéw umas horas
