Edward Kennedy Ellington was born on April 29, 1899, 125 years ago today. “There never was another,” as Ellington himself said of James P. Johnson.
Here, from 1988, is a PBS documentary in two parts: A Duke Named Ellington. Great archival footage, great interviews with Ellington and other musicians.
