Three Tune Tuesday - Duke Ellington - Birthday Boy #39 [Eng-Pt]
Welcome to my #TTT #ThreeTuneTuesday entry!
Good afternoon, everyone! Welcome to another edition of TTT! And today, the day after the big blackout, everything is much quieter around here.
But let's get to the birthday of the day! One of the most acclaimed jazz composers and pianists, Mr. Duke Ellington, was born on April 29, 1899!
Born and raised in Washington DC, the New York-based virtuoso pianist became a true master of composing short musical compositions for 78 rpm vinyl records of three minutes in length. He ended up writing over a thousand compositions for this format!
Today I want to relax a little with you, and here are three of my favorite songs by this true King of Jazz!
Cheers🍀
Boa tarde a todos! Bem vindos a mais uma edição do TTT! E hoje, um dia depois do grande apagão eléctrico tudo está muito mais calmo, aqui por estes lados.
Mas vamos então ao aniversariante do dia! Nascia a 29 de Abril de 1899 um dos mais aclamados compositor, e pianista de jazz, Mr Duke Ellington!
Nascido e criado em Washington DC, o pianista virtuoso sediado em Nova Yorke, tornou-se um verdadeiro mestre em compor pequenas composições musicais para os discos de vinil de 78 rpm e de três minutos de duração. Acabou por escrever mais de mil composições para esse formato!
Hoje quero aqui, relaxar um pouco com vocês, e deixo-vos aqui três das minhas favoritas músicas deste verdadeiro Rei do Jazz!

Cool selection... Tonight when I get home, I'm going to listen to a little Duke CD to celebrate his birthday (I didn't know).
Enjoy your day
I've done when I was preparing the publication. My neither. I just realized about his birthday because I google for musicians that were born April 29th, otherwise I would be out! Ahaha
Let's enjoy this day with these cool tunes from the King!
so awesome!
Thank you for your comment, stickupcurator!
listening to this alot recently
It's amazing how the composition gives everything such a warm sound, isn't it? We're immediately transported to a different world. If we close our eyes, we can imagine another continent, full of different colors and a musicality only achieved by someone as brilliant as him, don't you think?
ye he is a genius not many reach his great heights
Awesome stuff! Duke Ellington was an awesome artist. It's been awhile since I've heard his music. Great job!
The same happened to me. By picking the three tunes, I could embrace some of the greatness in the sonority of the Master Duke.
Thank you for your appreciation, TBH!
