Duke Ellington: Take The "A" Train

DUKE WAS THE MASTER COMPOSER/ARRANGER. THERE WAS ONLY ONE "DUKE". I had the opportunity to grow up in Ruth Ellington's house on West 58th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue in the 1960's because she was my adapted mother. I was like a brother to her sons, Steven Daniel James and Michael James(RIP). I was also close to Reggie Golson(RIP). What a great childhood hanging with the Ellington's, John William Coltrane,Elvin Jones,Jimmy Garrison and Willis Conover who was a great friend of Duke's. LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE, HABIB
