On the Road with Duke Ellington

[Arthro92]

It's sad how Duke got all of the credit for Billy's work. Duke didn't mind taking the given credit either.

That version of Take the A-Train at the funeral was pretty weak.

Amazing video. Billy was a rare talent.

[povonodo]

Wow, what is this from?

[DShadow911]

thank goodness we have footage of this

[hazeleyes171]

Wonderful and sad footage. Thanks for the post.

To see a dilapidated Duke says enough about his strong personality and the unmatched artistic relationship between him and Billy.

Wasn't that Billy Taylor at the piano?

[Jazzman303]

Man.. 67' was a bad year for jazz deaths.. Trane and Billy

Thank You for posting this and giving me a chance to learn about this Master of his Craft

[zerekx]

Weird...

[NYCBG]

Yup. Billy Strayhorn - the most underrated and the least known jazz genius.

[Jazzman303]

yeah man.. Lush Life at the age 17. That is absurd.

[cavaleer]

Thanks for this. There seems to be misunderstanding about Duke's appreciation of him.
