Description
This is a truly rare find. Good condition, Duke Ellington autographed, 1957 program from the Loblaw's concert series at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo, New York. Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899-May 24, 1974) was an American jazz composer, pianist, and band leader who has been one of the most influential figures in jazz, if not in all American music. A man of suave demeanor and puckish wit that masked occasional brusqueness, Ellington preferred to call his style and sound "American music" rather than just jazz, and liked to describe those who impressed him as "beyond category," including and especially many of the musicians who served with his orchestra.
