Ellington, Duke
From Amazon.com: Filmed in 1967 and first shown in 1974, filmmaker Robert Drew's hour-long documentary is less a biography of Duke Ellington, the man now widely regarded as the 20th century's most important composer, than a brief slice of his remarkable [... more]

Got Live If You Want It
we have lift-off!: Right: This album is "obviously not a real concert" - it's obviously culled from assorted 1966 concerts (plus a couple of studio busks), with all the uneven sound quality you'd expect under the circumstances. So is there [... more]
