El mundo de Duke Ellington | Ben Sidran Quartet

Foremost among the features that distinguished Duke Ellington’s work was his extensive collaboration with the musicians in his band. In this recital, Ben Sidran takes us on a musical-biographical journey through the life and work of the Duke, inseparable from that of musicians like Juan Tizol (the composer of the exotic Caravan melody) and Billy Strayhorn (one of his closest collaborators, to whom Ellington paid tribute after his death). 0:00 Ben Sidran introduces the concert Juan Tizol (1900-1984) 0:46 Caravan 7:18 Ben Sidran speaks about Duke Ellington's music style and about Harlem Duke Ellington (1899-1974) 10:43 Drop me off in Harlem 15:48 Solitude 21:11 Ben Sidran speaks about The Cotton Club Duke Ellington 23:17 It don't mean a Thing 26:43 Ben Sidran speaks about Duke Ellington and his context Duke Ellington, Johnny Hodges (1907-1970) and Harry James (1916-1983) 28:57 I’m beginning to see the light 32:56 Ben Sidran speaks about Billy Strayhorn Billy Strayhorn (1915-1967) 34:03 Take the 'A' Train 38:33 Ben Sidran gives some examples about Duke Ellington's compositional style Billy Strayhorn 40:07 Take the 'A' Train (Without melody) 44:54 Ben Sidran speaks about Duke Ellington's music Duke Ellington 45:58 I got it bad and that ain't good 52:02 Ben Sidran introduces Happy Go Lucky Local Duke Ellington 54:05 Happy Go Lucky Local 58:20 Ben Sidran introduces Satin doll Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn 59:10 Satin doll Ben Sidran Quartet (Ben Sidran, piano and voice.
