I taped a Duke-related appearance on WNYC’s Soundcheck earlier this week. It aired today and will be rebroadcast tonight at nine p.m. ET. John Schaefer, one of the smartest interviewers in radio, chatted with me at length about various aspects of Duke Ellington’s life and work, and the results, if I do say so myself, sound pretty good.
WNYC is at 93.9 on the FM dial. In addition, the entire thirty-minute interview has been archived, and you can listen on line by going here.
