This week’s show is dedicated to both Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington, as they both would’ve had birthdays last week.  Ella would’ve been 100 & Duke would’ve been 117!

This is by no means an exhaustive review of their works.  But, it is the highlights of the work I’ve come to know & love over the 30 years I’ve been listening to them both.

Enjoy!
