Didjeridoo - Chopteeth Afrofunk Big Band

Chopteeth plays Duke Ellington's "Didjeridoo" at The 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. The performance was part of the 2008 Duke Ellington Jazz Festival. Ellington wrote "Didjeridoo" as part of his 1971 Afro-Eurasian Eclipse suite, following a tour of Africa.

"Didjeridoo" appears on Chopteeth's 2011 "Chopteeth Live" CD, available here:
