So, G.S. Heron started with mentioning Count Basie, which I provided a link to, and next he Refers to Duke Ellington. He's is a leading cat in Jazz, so everyone really should have heard of him if they listen to music of any kind. It's like you
have to know the Duke.
These songs are from his very early days, but recorded in '58 here, so its not all scratchy, but from the roots era of the '20's
