A god among composers (and pianists). We will not see his like again.
Not only a television show but historical documents.
One for each cheeks. Sofisticated Duke, we miss you.
Rest in powerful peace 🙏

What ultimate legend of the 20th century hasnt been on the Dick Cavett show! Just amazing!❤ Insanely talented, mysterious and classy man Mr Ellington was
We use the word legend for way too many people, this, is a f***ing LEGEND. His influence is inestimable.
I had never heard the Duke speak. Wise man
Classy and complicated and funny. A man.
Maestro and Gentleman!
Still modern and musically revolutionary, Edward Kennedy Ellington --- Oh, and my favourite Duke composition is "Prelude to a Kiss."
Cavett looked nervous talking to Ellington, probably because he knows he is the most accomplished artist he will ever interview.
"Thank you Mr. President, Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen. And of course we speak of freedom of expression, we speak of freedom generally as being very sweet and fat and things like that.
But at the end when we get down to the payoff, what we actually say is that we would like very much to mention the four major freedoms that my friend and writing and arranging composer Billy Strayhorn lived by and enjoyed. And that was:
1. Freedom from hate, unconditionally.
2. Freedom from self-pity.
3. Freedom from the fear of possibly doing something that may help someone else more than it would you.
4. And, freedom from the kind of pride that could make a man feel that he is better than his brother."
April 29, 1969, The White House, upon receipt of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Geez. Died over 50 years. Wow!
The following night after this aired August 8th Sharon Tate and friends were murdered by Manson family members on August 9th
