“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

https://ellingtonreflections.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/the-magazine-suite.mp3 “ The Magazine Suite is an entirely new three-part composition. The band played it a few more times in 1945 and 1946 but never thereafter. It is remarkable how many Ellington compositions were allowed to sink without trace like this, suggesting that the Duke wrote much more than he could keep in his orchestra’s repertoire. This is a shame, as pieces like The Magazine Suite are full of invention.” – Tony Augarde The recordings heard on this podcast episode: Down Beat Shuffle/Esquire Swank/Metronome All Out (CD: “Duke Ellington and his Orchestra, Volume Five” Circle CCD-105) Recorded 31 July 1945, New York City Shelton Hemphill, Rex Stewart, Taft Jordan, Cat Anderson, Ray Nance – trumpet; Lawrence Brown, Joe Nanton, Claude Jones – trombone; Jimmy Hamilton, Otto Hardwick, Johnny Hodges, Al Sears, Harry Carney – reeds; Duke Ellington – piano; Fred Guy – guitar; Junior Raglin – bass; Sonny Greer – drums.

“[Duke Ellington] has set forth a restlessness, a music that has made for progress over three decades.

Today also marks the 7 th anniversary for podcast/blog Ellington Reflections.

In the meantime, please enjoy 2019’s birthday episode which can be found above. (Sidenote – the Cootie Williams CD compilation has received its first review .) There are several fine Ellington birthday print celebrations. Start with John Edward Hasse’s WSJ article . Duke’s place of birth weighs in with this Washington Post tribute . The Chicago Tribune published a critic’s personal Ellington journey here . And finally, Daily Kos remembers Duke at the end of Jazz Appreciation Month (April). Love you madly!…

“At Columbia University’s New College, where I was studying engineering, my instructors constantly inquired whether I had written any songs. I was persuaded to sit down and play several of my compositions for them. Next they demanded why I wasn’t studying music formally.

“Jimmy Jones is a close member of our musical family. Outside of our original version, he and Toby Hardwick were the first to do “Come Sunday.” I have had many different associations with him, the most notable being when we did My People in Chicago in 1963. I could not be there during the entire run, and he took over many of my responsibilities, played the piano and directed the orchestra. Then, when we were touring with Ella Fitzgerald, he was acting as her pianist, conductor, and orchestrator.” Duke Ellington, Music is my Mistress Jimmy Jones The recordings heard on this podcast episode: (CD: “Jimmy Jones 1946-1947,” Classics 1301) Old Juice on the Loose/A Woman’s Got a Right to Change her Mind Recorded 10 January 1946, New York City Joe Thomas – trumpet; Lawrence Brown – trombone; Otto Hardwick – alto sax; Ted Nash – tenor sax; Harry Carney – baritone sax; Jimmy Jones – piano; Billy Taylor – bass; Shelly Manne – drums.

“Harold “Shorty” Baker came into the band in 1942 to give us our first trumpet section of four. He joined Ray Nance, Rex Stewart, and Wallace Jones, and with his phenomenal phrasing and tone control he was an immense asset.

“Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and Wellman Braud were like Jelly [Roll Morton]; they’d talk as long as anyone would listen and hung around outside the Band Box. After Braud got written up in Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” column, he was too big for anybody. Ripley said he could pick faster than any bass player. He quit Duke’s band and started one of his own. He got a nice little band together to play a place over in Jersey. He talked so much to the man who owned the place about where to put the tables and how things were in the wrong place, the man told him to get his band together and get the hell outta there. He was always talking himself in by showing the clipping from the column and then he’d talk himself right out again.” George “Pops” Foster, The Autobiography of a New Orleans Jazzman Wellman Braud [1891-1966] Duke Ellington and his Orchestra, 1930 The Indianapolis Star, 12 January 1935 The recordings heard on this podcast episode: (CD: “Duke Ellington, The Centennial Edition” RCA Victor ‎– 09026-63386-2) Washington Wabble – Recorded 6 October 1927, New York City Bubber Miley, Louis Metcalf – trumpet; Joe Nanton – trombone; Edgar Sampson, Otto Hardwick – reeds; Duke Ellington – piano; Fred Guy – banjo; Wellman Braud – bass; Sonny Greer – drums.

Sweet, but not syrupy, nor schmaltzy, nor surrealistic, it had a superiority of extrasensory dimensions. Both as a soloist and from the point of view of teamwork, he was a fine musician.
