Manhattan Swing: Visit With the Duke
"When we are playing together as a trio, Bucky, John, and I will occasionally play an entire set of Ellington - Strayhorn songs. The set goes on and on, gently winding through the famous and not as famous compositions of these two brilliant composers. Very often a quiet comes over the audience as the songs roll along, and soon you'd think you were at a service in church. And we actually are, honoring the Archangel of American music, Duke Ellington. --Jay Leonhart, Musician
