The Duke & the Tiger- Thursday Evening Salon Series
The Duke & the Tiger
Presented by Dan Morgenstern, Former Director, Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University
Introduced in 1917, "Tiger Rag" became a staple of the jazz repertoire for decades. In 1930 Duke Ellington subjected it to more than a dozen ingenious transformations, among them several masterpieces. Join eight-time Grammy-award-winning jazz historian Dan Morgenstern as he presents recorded highlights, spanning six decades, to shed light on Ellington’s genius, methodology and great band.
