The Piano Prince and His Orchestra
Meet Edward Kennedy Duke Ellington, a slick-stepping, piano-playing kid who grew up to become a legendary King of the Keys! Long before he was famous, Duke taught himself to press the pearly piano keys, finding inspiration in the lively sounds of ragtime music. Soon, his incredible talent took him straight to 1920s Harlem, the vibrant heart of the jazz universe. Step back in time to experience the rhythm and swing of a true musical genius. You will follow Duke as he forms his world-famous orchestra, writes over a thousand brilliant compositions, and brings his hot-buttered, sassy-cool tones all the way to the stage of Carnegie Hall. This swinging tribute to an American icon will have your toes tapping and your imagination soaring to the beat of his beautiful blues.
