@ Irwin: was wondering if you ever heard Joe Jackson's album of Ellington covers from a few years back...his latest release, in fact...it worked especially good live @ Town Hall when he toured behind it, but then again, I'm partial to JJ.

If I had to play just five numbers for someone to introduce them to what Ellington is about, or maybe even three, The Mooche would be one of them.

Mingus plays with seething rage.

P-90:

"seething", yes!
  4:38pm
Golde:

Would be interesting to have a show in which the subtleties of emotional output (seething) within a given emotion/feeling (rage) are followed gradually from one side of the spectrum to the other. Has anyone done this before? If so, who!

Strayhorn: a truly fascinating figure, the more you dig into his story, the more you find... and yeah he wrote or co-wrote a lot of stuff credited solely to Ellington.
