Louis Armstrong expert Ricky Riccardi yesterday posted to That's My Home: Louis Armstrong House Virtual Exhibits a superb recollection of the second day's rehearsals for the fourth Timex All Star Jazz Show featuring Duke Ellington.
The rehearsal took place on 6 January, 1959 at the CBS Broadcast Center, 524 West 57th Street, NYC.
Understandably, images and text on the web page are both locked. The above screen shot shows Ellington with vocalist Ruth Olay (an extremely interesting surname there which plugs directly into research we are doing at Ellington Live at present).
The photograph is copyright Maynard Frank Wolfe and no copyright infringement is intended.
Ricky's post is superb and may be found here.
A soundtrack to this particular episode of the Timex All Star Jazz Show was released on this LP:
