kh1958 Posted June 5, 2004 Report Posted June 5, 2004 I highly recommend the Storyville Jazz Festival Volume 2 DVD, which features the Duke Ellington Orchestra. This DVD of Ellington from 1962 is visually and musically fantastic. This is a beautiful 35 mm film of the orchestra, shot by a talented director, with very nice sound, and inexpensive. http://www.dvdempire.com/exec/v4_item.asp?...&item_id=587240 Quote
LAL Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 Duke, Benny Goodman and Richard Rodgers watching Ella sing. A couple of pics of Duke and Ella at the airport here and Duke and Norman Grantz here. Wonder if these are from the Cote d'Azur concerts. Quote
brownie Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 Wonder if these are from the Cote d'Azur concerts. From the clothes everybody wears, the photos were taken during the winter. The Cote d'Azur concerts date from July 1966. The photos were probably taken at around that time but not at Nice airport which is the Cote d'Azur one. Looks much more like Orly airport which was the main Paris airport then. Quote
LAL Posted June 11, 2004 Report Posted June 11, 2004 Thanks for the info. Brownie. Duke with Ivie Anderson Quote
