It's like a dream come true. The Duke, The Lion and Billy Taylor, what a threesome. It reminds me when I saw Earl Hines, Eubie Blake and Billy Taylor at the end of the 70's at the Overseas Press Club in NY near the Grand Central Terminal.
Thanks

Duke Ellington, ... ( 4 months ago by mmjaljs)
Duke Ellington, need I say more! This individauality, broke down, so many barriers, and negative stereotypes, of African Americans. Conducting himself, with dignity, honor, and respect, a brilliant perspective, an outstanding talent, and a touch of blissful class. A phenon, of God given talent. Mr. Duke Ellington

Wow! Who would've guessed that THE LION would be here, man?! This is incredible! Duke Ellington's phrasing and chords, Billy Taylor's IMPECKIBLE technique and timing, and Willie's classic cigar and his unique ideas with rhythm. This is truly great. 7/5 stars.

im not getting at anyone in any bad way..but if its so easy..how come they are able to make something so simple sound so difficult..may be by knowing what the chord progression is, people may think its so easy..but there is so much more going on inside of these turnarounds besides the major/minor scales. like the diminished..(so important)
the music is beautiful...
