Duke Ellington To Play At Sunset Thurs. Nite
Atlanta will again have the opportunity to listen to Duke Ellington and his matchless orchestra on tomorrow night.
Considered by the foremost authorities of Europe and America to be the first jazz composer of note and the foremost colored composer of all time, the matchless 'Duke' will unravel some of his latest creations at Sunset Casino—creations that no living man or band has mastered like Duke and his artists.
Ellington's music is so distinctive and so different that, of all the bands on earth, his style and intricate charm is readily recognizable to even the most indifferent music fans.
All of the leading bands, viz. Lombardo, Andy Kirk, Lunceford, etc. have had their styles aped so completely that identity has, in many cases, been impossible.
Not so with Duke Ellington.
No band seems to harvest the weird conceptions of his coloristic multiplicity or trace his melodic invention with accuracy. This is the reason that you will hear Ellington at Sunset Casino this Thursday night as only Ellington himself can treat your ears.
Tickets are now on sale at prominent neighborhood stores.
