Jazz — Mario Ponce Enrile pays tribute to the timeless creative bond between Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, with spellbinding melodies and a singular sensitivity.
My Little Brown Book One evening Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn Some creative partnerships transcend time. The one between Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn is among the most beautiful jazz has ever known — two distinct minds, one shared voice. Tonight, we open the little brown notebook Billy Strayhorn carried with him like a secret: his melodies, his velvet harmonies, his singular sensitivity — and by his side, Duke Ellington, his lifelong partner. Lush Life, Take the A Train, Lotus Blossom, Chelsea Bridge… Pages you want to return to again and again. An evening to rediscover Strayhorn’s quiet genius and Ellington’s greatness.
