Even 5th ough I'm a 80's I love how you portray black culture both past and present. I wish i could take a time machine to this era.

@kidmack1121 4 года назад

I know what you are saying but in the meantime you can watch Francis Ford Coppola's "Cotton Club" (1984) until you have the funds to invest in time travel.

This was one of my Grandpa's favorite records. He had it on a 78, and he'd had it since it was brand new.

The energy, inspiation and precision of this band was miraculous. And when you think that most of its members were more or less self-taught....!

Some of the finest musicians that ever existed look like they all have a perm 🤔😊

They did back in those days. I believe that was the style.

The Duke of Ellington and his Musical Men were Awesome!!!!! 💞 😁

I love this so much. It's interesting to note the difference in the band's deportment, uniforms, etc between this performance and the 1933 concert video. They're so much more assured of their stature in 1933, whereas you can see them growing into who they would become in 1930. Harry Carney tears up the baritone sax in his fantastic solo and Freddy Jenkins rocks his one note syncopation to the max. This was cutting edge popular music during this time and musicians from all over the world were taken aback by the harmonic sophistication and precision of this band.

Love how the audience just stands there, while Eliington's band ought to make a statue move. Also nice to see Johnny Hodges play soprano sax on film.

A 1930 blues music sings for everyone on the musicians together - wow and great! Yes, I am a white guy, but is in my heart for types of this music - it’s there. Yes, I am a musician but not a singer… and I love decades ago if this type of music… ❤️

I love to dance! I can see myself with a Marcelle perm and a Lily Ann suit "jitter-buggin" with the best of them! lol! Thanks, this was great!

Thanks for uploading this! I never could find any Duke Ellington performances. Btw I'm a new sub, been watching you for months though.✊🏽👏🏽

@reelblack 4 года назад

Thanks for the love. There is tons of Ellington footage. This might be one of the earliest live clips. Sound on film wasn’t common. Black and Tan was a featurette released a year prior but my recollection is that it was mostly dubbed.

@kidmack1121 4 года назад

@@nomad9598 I used to use one of my vacation days for Ellington's birthday several years running, including his centennial in 1999 In the days leading up to April 29, I would mix several audio cassettes of his recordings from my collection to listen to at work, and then on his birthday watch the three + hour PBS documentaries "A Duke Named Ellington" "Reminiscing In Tempo" and eat a big steak, with collard greens, and potatoes, and a bowl of quartered fresh tomatoes and a fresh peach cobbler with old fashioned vanilla bean ice cream ( many of his favorite things to eat) I would've had the rarely seen fresh pear ice cream which was his very favorite, but I have only seen that once in my life and that was in the "food court" in Harrod's in London...I was pressed for time to get to and through the museums on the tour, and I didn't have time to taste it DARN IT!

@kidmack1121 4 года назад

@@nomad9598 Oh yeah! The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books box set has unreleased material that the smaller editions don't have. In The Ellington Song Book there is a portion of in studio outtakes with Fitzgerald and Ellington discussing the sheet music, and some terrific alternates of tracks. I wish I had it in my library...

@kidmack1121 4 года назад

Good to see the interest in Duke Ellington. Maybe if you have the means, you could upload the PBS documentary on Ellington and his music; "Reminiscing In Tempo" And the full length motion picture "Murder At The Vanities" (1934) in which Duke Ellington and his orchestra co star in cameo.

Very true, producers and studio didn't want a hint that it might be an integrated band.

Notice that Juan Tizol is in black face so he could appear on stage with black musicians.

@davidcoleman5498 3 года назад

Which is ironic given that back then it was considered socially unacceptable or in bad taste to wear black hair naturally & instead perming your hair out. White folks & their petty racism back then & still to this day are weird. And Tizol was Puerto Rican with I guess some African ancestry.
