From governors to farmers, from senators to factory workers, from entrepreneurs to the over 200,000 men and women who signed our Fuels America petition, the message is clear. Until now, the government has approved large sales from the reserve only three times, including during the first Gulf War and after the fuel price spikes that followed Hurricane Katrina
The Royal Roost was one of a few clubs that established themselves a few blocks southwest of 52nd Street, but with the exception of the legendary Birdland (named after Charlie Parker), most of them vanished by the time Elvis Presley came north. The Original Dixieland Jazz Band, Fletcher Henderson (featuring Louis Armstrong), Paul Whiteman and Duke Ellington all established themselves playing in and around the environs of George M

Mark Davis: The One Way To Invite An Independent Trump Candidacy While it is a worthy pursuit to examine and anticipate each passing twist and turn of the Trump campaign, there is one goal that should be at the top of every conservative list: avoid luring him into an independent run
The Doris Duke Photograph Collection was created by combining color and black and white photographs, slides, negatives, and other photographic formats contained in albums, boxes, picture frames, and envelopes. Duke Farms, 1897-2004 The images in this series document the transformation of the Duke Farms estate, including original construction and improvements made to the estate
But no number was more infectious than this jazz anthem, its title taken from a comment by Ellington trumpeter player Bubber Miley (who died, at 29, the year the song came out). Beginning with his 1927-32 tenure as band leader at the Cotton Club and continuing for a fertile half-century, Ellington operated from an intellectual aerie he hoped would filter down to the mass audience

History Of The Blues
Boogie-Woogie style was characterized by a regular bass figure, an ostinato or riff and shifts of level in the left hand, elaborating each chord and trills and decorations in the right hand. Some labels are famous for their rediscovering and remastering of blues rarities such as Arhoolie Records, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (heir of Folkways Records) and Yazoo Records (Shanachie Records)
The Cotton Club (1984) - IMDb
A movie that deserves it's place alongside other Coppola masterpieces such as, THE GODFATHER and APOCALYPSE NOW.But the legacy of this film is very strange: The behind the scenes shenanigans is legendary, it was unjustly panned when it was first released, and box-office was slight; however, watching this film you can't help but wonder why?Everything from the performances to the look of the film is first-rate; with James Remar particularly good as Dutch Schultz, and the ending of this film is nicely reminiscent of THE GODFATHER
These organizations benefited by the entire proceeds and this created a lot of good will."We became very proud of the State Department for the way they received us and the way they presented us. It happened that the date of such a studio job came to be mentioned on the tape box."1"Jerry Valburn told me in Toronto that he had been advised by Stanley Dance that the Ellington band had returned to our city from their on-going gig in McAfee NJ for just one day, which didn't make any sense to me

Edward Kennedy Ellington Biography - Childhood, Life And Timeline
Since this piece of work was not well received by the public, as it did not fall into the category of jazz or classical, Ellington did not play this music anywhere else. After Mercer died, the Duke Ellington Orchestra was maintained and carried upon by Paul Ellington, which conducts music in various concert halls around the world
Ellington in Private - 75.05
She joined us for late-night "breakfasts" in the Hickory House on Fifty-second Street, sitting quietly beside Ellington, seldom joining the conversation. He never missed a recording session and would sit with his attractive wife, Marion, on the sidelines until all hours of the night, somehow managing to appear in his clinic at eight every morning
25, and that Duke Ellington will be here to play in the world premiere of his new "Concerto for Modern Dance and Symphony Orchestra" in the San Diego Philharmonic's fourth concert, April 12, in Russ Auditorium. The streets within two blocks of the armory were packed with traffic and the hall itself was filled to overflowing with dancers..." Report, Chester Times 1935-04-23, p.2...
Ellington appeared on the cover of Time magazine, and he signed a new contract with Columbia Records, which released Ellington at Newport, the best-selling album of his career. (Some of those musicians returned later.) But the band made a major comeback at the Newport Jazz Festival on July 7, 1956, when they kicked into a version of "Dimuendo and Crescendo in Blue" that found saxophonist Paul Gonsalves taking a long, memorable solo
Black, Brown, And Beige - The New Yorker
Although his schooling may have afforded him an inner strength, Ellington was a careless student, even in music (where his only grade on record is a D). He led a State Department tour, in 1963, designed to counter the news stories about American racism that were proving so useful to the Communist cause, and Cohen believes its political dividends helped to spur the passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Act

And of course, there's the superb packaging - a 44-page booklet crammed with fully detailed notes by Steven Lasker and several rare or never before seen photographs. I've heard a lot of reissues over the years, from terrible re-channeled stereo LPs in the 1970s to muffled, over-processed CDs in the late 1980s and early 1990s
