My Little Brown Book
One evening with Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn
There are connections that transcend time. The bond between Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn is one of the most beautiful in jazz history — two distinct minds, one shared voice.
Tonight, we open the little brown book that Billy Strayhorn carried with him as a secret: his melodies, his velvety harmonies, his unique sensitivity — alongside him, Duke Ellington, his lifelong collaborator. Lush Life, Take the A Train, Lotus Blossom, Chelsea Bridge… Pages that you want to read over and over again.
An evening to rediscover Strayhorn's quiet genius and Ellington's grandeur.
