Duke Ellington Billy Strayhorn This was from 1965, and one of the very times I had ever seen Billy actually play with the band. Of course it's Take the "A" Train. Tags: Duke Ellington big band Billy Strayhorn |

All the men I knew had sad and sullen gray faces With distingue traces That used to be there you could see where They'd been washed away by too many through the day Twelve o'clock tails. Then you came along with your siren song To tempt me to madness I thought for a while that your poignant smile Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me. Oh yes. I was wrong Again I was wrong. Now Life is Lonely Again And Only Last Year Everything Seemed SO SURE... Tags: Jazz vocals Linda Matos Sistalinda Billy Strayhorn natural hair lushlife |

Duke Ellington, Lotus Blossom (Trio) (Strayhorn) And His Mother Called Him Bill (1967) Personnel: Duke Ellington (piano); Russell Procope, Jimmy Hamilton (alto saxophone, clarinet); Johnny Hodges (alto saxophone); Paul Gonsalves (tenor saxophone); Harry Carney (baritone saxophone); Cat Anderson, Mercer Ellington, Herbie Jones, Cootie Williams (trumpet); Clark Terry (flugelhorn); John Sanders, Lawrence Brown, Buster Cooper, Chuck Connors (trombone); Aaron Bell, Jeff Castleman (bass); Steve Little, Sam Woodyard (drums). I am completely captivated by the Strayhorn/Ellington narrative and by the 1967 CD And His Mother Called Him Bill. Every story has a beginning and a middle, and as many of us eventually figure out , there are no real endings. This CD is a living legacy of that reality. My appreciation for this body of work is inseparable from the love story it expresses. Can you imagine being fortunate enough to meet someone in your lifetime that you connect with on a creative and soul level so profound that it is not a threat to, nor rivalled by any other kind of intimacy? From all that I have read by historians and biographers, and all myths aside, this is the essence of the relationship Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn shared and nurtured for 30 years. A bond beyond gender or sexuality, and even deeper than friendship. Yet, most of their famous compositions were collaborated on while apart and from completely different approaches, one being self taught liking contrast and discord, the other classically trained loving harmony and melody. Strayhorn recalled the first time he watched the Duke in action: Something inside me changed when I saw Ellington on stage, like I hadn't been living until then. And later Ellington described Strayhorn as my right arm, my left arm, all the eyes in the back of my head, my brainwaves in his head, and his in mine. When Billy Strayhorn died in 1967 after a two year struggle with esophagus cancer, Ellington was so devastated that he did not get out of bed for weeks, and three months later he called his band into the studio to record this tribute album. Hence, my inspiration to share. These are my first You Tube uploads, audio only and not perfect, but just lay back, close your eyes and drift. Tags: jazz |

Rick v Strayhorn From the Rick Perry for Gov. campaign: Today two major newspapers documented that Carole Strayhorn has been using her taxpayer-funded official state office for campaign business. This news reports come seven months after an Austin TV station investigative report found that Strayhorn had been using taxpayer-funded official state publications to promote her campaign and almost a year after she went to a campaign event in an official state vehicle. Here's the video Gov. McDreamy's folks put together. Tags: Texas Gubernatorial Rick Perry Strayhorn Grandma Chris Bell |

Ellington/Strayhorn - piano duets What goes around comes around, they say. What was the name of that big funky, back-beat hit on Blue Note during the 60's--was it Lee Morgan with Billy Higgins (maybe Mobley, too) that sounds suspiciously like "Tonk"? "Drawing Room Blues" has Duke and Strayhorn alternating choruses with Duke taking the first then sliding over (same piano)with Strayhorn taking the next, etc. cd: "Duke Ellington solos, duets and trios" Bluebird recording 2178-2 RB Tags: duke ellington billy strayhorn jazz piano |
