My Interview With Duke Ellington

[ghost of miles]

I traveled back in time to chat with Duke about his score for the film Anatomy Of A Murder. 

My Interview With Duke Ellington

... it's a sort of supplement to last week's Night Lights show.

[Ken Dryden]

At least by doing it an interview this way there was no danger of risking getting a Maori spear inserted where the sun doesn't shine.

If you haven't read Mercer Eillington & Stanley Dance's bio of Duke Ellington, check it out. That scene is a scream...

I've wanted to do this, but ask completely different questions, so the responses sound like non-sequiturs. 

[Ken Dryden]

I remember reading in the Art Tatum discography about a similar record of interview answers where a disc jockey could insert the scripted questions in his own voice.

[Jim Duckworth]

I have an interview disc like this for Joe Henderson as a promotion for one of his Verve records.
