"I was born at Newport." - Duke Ellington
The power of a single performance can alter any artist's trajectory, even for the most legendary musicians. This week, Hilary and Cody flash back to Newport, Rhode Island, in 1956. Duke Ellington and His Orchestra are gearing up for a make or break headlining show.
That night's set, and the record that followed, would change Ellington's fortunes and set him on track for a historic third act in an career whose influence is difficult to quantify.
"Ellington at Newport" is the first live record we've touched on, and you'll see why after just one listen!
