In celebration of the fact that next month the Northwest Duke Ellington Orchestra is performing in Liverpool next month (click on hyperlink for details) and the first UK production of Play On is coming to The Everyman and Playhouse, here is the man himself in Liverpool.
This recording of Ellington's solo piano on James P. Johnson's Carolina Shout comes from a concert at the University of Liverpool, 17 February, 1966.
Patrons could enjoy this performance for the princely sum of 7/6 - forty two and a half pence in modern money!
Things ain't what they used to be!
