Lots of chat from Duke and also rare shot of Billy Streyhorn. This version of 'A-Train' features Ernie Shepard (aka. Sheppard) on vocals and bass.

  • I bet that if Duke Ellington were alive today, he and his band would still be playing, and he could probably get onto TV too...

  • Happy 112th birthday, Duke =)

  • Mr. Ellington was one classy gentleman. In his opening remarks her was referring to the Congressman who represented Harlem in the 60s - the Reverend Adam Clayton Powell - one of the biggest crooks in the history of Congress (quite a distinction). But his corruption had not become public when this was filmed so Mr Ellington could still refer to him with pride.

  • This is by far my favorite Duke song. He was such a creative and talented man.

    RIP Mr. Ellington

  • He was amazing up until his last recording

  • this is so good

  • This is talent, Canada loves the Duke.........

  • all i gotta say is Ernie Shepard is THE MAN!  .......AND LONG LIVE DUKE ELLINGTON.

  • ♥♥♥

  • @coremetima really? I know more about this music than you can even imagine. so what I accidentally put in both an E and an A. P.s. I don't think that having a keystroke error is going to disrespect him.

  • im doing this for my music hw

  • @Coremetima indeed he was!
