29 April, 2019 marks the 120th anniversary of Duke Ellington's birth. His music has brought us all Many Happy Returns. Incredible to think that the video clip below, posted here by way of a Birthday card, celebrating Duke's seventieth birthday is itself now half a century old...
I shall be spending Duke's birthday at work but, when the five o'clock whistle blows, I would hope to catch at least some of WKCR-FM's (Columbia University’s non-commercial student-run radio station)annual 24 hour birthday broadcast celebration live-streamed here.
