Sonnet for Sister Kate
In honour of Duke's birthday and other sundry celebrations happening today, here is a little present: a half hour broadcast over NBC from Ravinia Park Festival, Highland Park, 1 July, 1957, premiering Ellington's Shakespearean suite Such Sweet Thunder. Enjoy the day!
Another terrific photo. I can almost hear Duke now... "Blues? Paris? I defer these serious matters to my experienced confrere here, King Louis the Only. For moi, this bubbly stuff will suffice... but for you, chere mademoiselle?"
