The Duke, Skyward
"Duke Ellington was in fine form that night at Monterey. For this occasion, he and his orchestra had completed the premiere of his new work, The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse, to the absolute joy of the audience. And, to cap it all off, The Duke was joined in an exhilarating finale featuring fellow bandleader Woody Herman and vocalist Joe Williams. It was a beautiful evening — No wonder he gave thanks."
