DUKE ELLINGTON PODCAST

Στα επιφανή μέλη του April born musicians club ο Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington, ο μεγαλύτερος συνθέτης & bandleader την ιστορία της jazz. Ο μόνος ίσως από τους πρωταγωνιστές της που συγκεντρώνει την εκτίμηση και το σεβασμό όλων, σύγχρονων και μεταγενέστερων, ακόμα και εκείνων που έκαναν σημαία τους το σπάσιμο των δεσμών με την παράδοση. Στις 6 δεκαετίες της καριέρας του, ο Duke Ellington υπήρξε, και είναι ακόμα, η σταθερή αξία και το σημείο αναφοράς για όσους θεωρούμε τη jazz μια απο τις σημαντικότερες μορφές μουσικής έκφρασης απ’ τις αρχές του 20ου αι. μέχρι σήμερα.

Among the prominent members of the April born musicians club this date, Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington is the greatest composer & bandleader in the history of jazz history. He may be the only one, throughout his six decades long career, who gathered respect and admiration from everyone, peers and successors, even from the ones who made their names by breaking ties with tradition. Duke Ellington has been, and still is, a steady value, a point of reference for all of us who consider jazz one of the leading forms of musical expression from early 20th century to this day.

    I really enjoyed this. I felt that I was in a nightclub dressed to the nines and fox trotting my little heart out!

      “Music has gone backwards” – my words exactly. That’s the main idea behind this blog. Thank you!
