Hey now, this is my individual tribute to Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974). Ellington was one of the most influential composers & pianists in the history of Jazz and it was about time for a tribute. These cover versions I found quite remarkable. I hope you'll enjoy this well researched compilation. (Pencil drawing by TSP)

Cool tunes
Absolutely. Thanks for listening in.
Three month since I have uploaded this mix. Concerning the duet of Aretha with brother Ray: I would have bet my last dollar someone would have realized the link between "Ain‘t But The One“ and "Spirit In The Dark“ … but no one said anything.
Oh my God Wowza

Thank you, once traveling on Ellington's path I was amazed of all the variations his compositions were an inspiration for.
Really making for a great start to the weekend! Great mix.
