Another music legend, Sergio Mendes, has joined the ancestors after a long battle with COVID. Imagine the jamming he must be doing up there!

Cecilia Brown, who was originally married to the great bassist Ray Brown, has joined the ancestors. She was a sweetheart, one who generously donated Ray Brown's bass and archives to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History on March 31, 2015. May she R.I.P.

@LibrarySheet Ellington and Strayhorn wrote "Satin Doll" as an instrumental in 1953. Five years later, in 1958, words were added by Johnny Mercer.

@CultrHack The invisible history is made visible in the splendid off-Broadway musical, "Cross the River," a song-cycle about Black cowboys, composed by Allan Harris, book written by Allan and Pat Harris. A wonderful show!

A privilege to return to Stockholm to speak about Duke Ellington on his 125th birthday. The conference drew speakers from 7 nations discussing Ellington & Cab Calloway, Ellington on Broadway, Ellington's clarinetists, the legendary stockpile recordings, & his early 1930s work.
