If you live in the vicinity of Winter Park, Florida, I’m lecturing about Duke Ellington tonight at Rollins College. My talk, which is called “Duke Ellington: The Man Behind the Mask,” is based on my newly published Ellington biography. A jazz combo led by Chuck Archard is accompanying me, and I’ll also be showing Ellington-related film clips and (as usual) taking questions from the audience.
The event takes place at Tiedtke Concert Hall and starts at seven p.m. sharp. No tickets or reservations are required. For more information, go here.
