I really hate the fact that a lot of young people in the United States discarded jazz during the late 60s and 70s only to be the same ones to complain about hip-hop some years later. The great Duke Ellington was composing musical masterpieces up until he died. I was 10 years old when he left us and had loved jazz since I was 5 years old.
Those were the very best jazz years. All that pure individual talent manifested itself post WW2 and changed it in inventive, passionate, improvisational jazz. Enjoy this wild roller-coaster jazzy live session folks. Toodeloo’s & Cheers!
Wild Bill was a great addition to the tour and he blended well with drummer Rufus "Speedy" Jones and Cat Anderson's high note trumpet at the end of this tune. You can really hear it on the album.
I met bassist Victor Gaskin in live Concert when He played with Billy Taylor Trio(Dr. Billy Taylor,piano--, --- Freddie Waits,drums---in 1979 at Lincoln Center, New York City.♫♪♫♫ (Got All 3 members autographs.) Thanks.♫♪♫♫
I had this incredible record : Duke Ellington 70th birthday but, never seen the video ! Thank you very very much Dadazee for sharing. Such a pleasure to watch the great Hammond player Wild Bill Davis with the amazing Duke !
You know, the English language has not developed to the point where it can describe the gift of your uncle. Guess we'll have to wait. In the meantime, let's soak up every moment of his music.

et toujours cette prise de son déplorable qui nous empêche d'entendre les sur aigus fantastiques de Cat Anderson à la fin du thème !!!
Beautiful

note to others commenting: this video is NOT from the same concert released as Duke Ellington 70th Birthday Concert. Same year and band is all.
Great Foot Age w/ The Duke Hoofin it. A Master of American /World Jazz .
The part from Copenhagen is a kind of rarity! Excellent quality of videotape seems incredible.

No mic or camera for the trumpet section in the Paris concert? Too bad.
A good version of an otherwise boring tune when you have heard it so often.
Satin Doll is never boring.
