Cavett Cavil


Somebody up there in classic American TV chat show heaven is being very generous to YouTube. Selections from Duke Ellington's various appearances on 
The Ed Sullivan Show pop up with some regularity (see here) and now the archives of The Dick Cavett Show are being plundered to similar effect. I have not yet watched these clips in succession but they may comprise just about a complete episode of the show featuring Duke Ellington and Mary McCarthy, audio of which was recently released by Ricky Richard from The Louis Armstrong House Museum.








 

And here from a later Dick Cavett Show in 1971, Duke Ellington discusses his sleeping habits...
