Duke Ellington - The Shepherd (Who Watches Over The Night Flock)

[Streamline09]

Great to see them together because Duke started out as a visual artist who later applied colors to sound. Thanks for posting this gem (and filming it?).

@Streamline09 Sadly I was born 25 years after this session, so I just uploaded. I'm glad you liked it!

As a teenager, Duke was a talented visual artist, who was awarded an art scholarship to the Pratt Institute. Small wonder, then, that he and Miro would be so simpatico!

Brilliant! Music and Art forever :-)
