“Duke inspired us all with more music than we will ever learn,” said Hope. “He kept that band under great sacrifice for us to carry on for the next couple of centuries.” It is acknowledged that Ellington wrote or collaborated on over 1,000 compositions, especially those with Billy Strayhorn. Many of these compositions have become jazz standards, which speaks to his recorded jazz legacy.
“We both love Duke and will go through some of his repertoire like ‘My Little Brown Book,’ ‘A Flower is a Lovesome Thing,’ and ‘Black, Brown, and Beige,’” said Cary. “We know how to work with each other and know what to do. James and I have some different stuff brewing some piano and keyboards. There will be some original pieces I wrote that were inspired by Duke.”
Ellington’s quote, “Musicians should play with one foot in Africa and the other in the present” is a concept these two musicians have followed. “Marc and I have similar interests in music of various cultures which led to some recordings together and a long-lasting friendship,” said Hurt. “Duke Ellington set a high example of how to explore the full range of music with a wide lens from a global perspective.
