Playlist, Week of 2021-04-25

Well, this week sees the end pretty much of my Duke Ellington deeeep dive into my collection... I created a playlist on the Magic Jukebox 2 of all the stuff I want to revisit (mostly newer suites and more obscure compositions, nothing older than 1946 except for a couple of tunes I couldn't do without)... 1920s, 1930s, and early 1940s already on there, of course.... the playlist is 32 hours long... that's enough to keep me busy for a while... the amazing thing is how much writing he (and Billy Strayhorn) cranked out over the years... just tremendous...
