CAAL Night: The Ladies of Duke Ellington
Music

October 16 2009

Broadway at 60th Street
New York, NY 10023
212.721.6500

Pre-Concert lecture 7:00 PM to 7:45 PM
Performance 8:00 PM to 10:30 PM

To Duke Ellington, music was his mistress: a sophisticated lady, a clothed woman and a tattooed bride. This special concert presented some of the most sensuous, romantic music from jazz's all-time number one ladies man. Unchallenged in his accomplishment as jazz's greatest composer, Ellington's music is admired by all, especially the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, who played it with élan, precision and soul. Before the show, CAAL members attended a pre-concert lecture in the Recording Studio, and after the show, they met Wynton Marsalis!
