" I know very little about Duke Ellington, nor have I really looked into much of his music. Admittedly, that's a shame on my part, as he's a legend in music. Ellington At Newport is the only album I have ever really sat down and listened to from the man, and my interest caught when I heard "Take The A Train" one day and was amazed at how cool it sounded. There is a full concert release of this album and I highly suggest it to anyone. Even if you're just a fan of music alone and don't really care"
