On Duke Ellington’s birthday

Duke Ellington was born 124 years ago today.

Here’s a section of The Perfume Suite that became an audience-participation bit, “Dancers in Love” (aka “Stomp for Beginners”), recorded at the Whitney Museum of American Art, April 10, 1972. With Joe Benjamin (bass) and Rufus Jones (drums). Feel free to join in.
