A Film by Robert Drew

Filmed in 1967 just six years before Duke Ellington's death, this program serves as perhaps the most revealing and intimate portrait of the artist ever recorded.
Legendary filmmaker Robert Drew offers audiences a unique and unobtrusive look inside the colorful world of this American Jazz legend, capturing the artist performing, composing, and ruminating about his life and career.

Includes concert footage of Duke playing Take the 'A' Train and Satin Doll.
