Nov 27, 2022: Syncopated Times: ​The Story of Duke Ellington, Part 2: 1930-1939
Ellington was 30 when 1930 began and he was already at the top of his field. He had a nightly job at the Cotton Club where his orchestra was the house band and he was free to write as much music as he could create both for his big band and occasionally for the shows.
​1931 included the recording debut of “Rockin’ In Rhythm” (which Ellington would eventually use as his opening number at concerts) and the two-part “Creole Rhapsody” which was the first extended original piece recorded by the orchestra (once apiece for Brunswick and Victor).
