TAKIN’ THE A TRAIN
What would it have been like to see Ellington at The Cotton Club in his prime? Now that would have been an experience to cherish. Duke on the keys, leading his amazing band, riding the rails up and down the scales, all perfectly timed in uncharted waters of composition. Using this Violin-Uke, a now defunct experiment of an instrument, as a background we ride the rails of Duke's A Train to parts unknown.
