We Remember Duke - a podcast by Frank Miller

Duke Ellington is one of my favorite composers, bandleaders and jazz icons. I have been collecting Ellington music for a long while first on vinyl albums then on cd's and now mp3s. Since I have a pretty extensive collection I can share his music with my listeners. Duke passed away on May 24th 1974 so I am a few weeks late with this program. I always like to remember Duke either on his birthday or on the day of his passing. To remember Duke I picked the year of 1940 to focus on. It was a very creative period for Duke as he composed and recorded quite a few of his hits. I hope you enjoy the music of Duke Ellington from the year of 1940 as we remember him on the anniversary of his passing.
