Sir Duke was cool. Thanks for sharing this treasure.

Isn't Duke wonderful! Man I'd love to be able to go to a performance like this! But today such a band would demand such a price they'd have to fill a stadium to get them all paid.

Before my time. But I remember when the "King of all - Sir Duke" died.

@1967mustanggta Such a band will never more exist - there are not any more individuals like the band members and a Duke to know how to get the best out of each and every man...

...and in the end, this rare moment of Billy Strayhorn playing Lush Life... cannot be decribed with words... Thank you!

@paulbgo not in the jazz context but if you check out the emerging artists in the gypsy brass scene of serbia, some have started exploring jazz and modern classical music and are mixing it up with each (self thaught) individual having a specific way of playing. It is as duke's music had a lot of jazz overtones, so this music has a lot of gypsy overtones, but is going quite further. Give them a couple of years. :) check out Boban Markovic orkestar.
