Duke Ellington's Blanton-Webster Band Pt. 2
The week Jim and Ron finish their two-part look and listen to the music recorded by Duke Ellington's Blanton-Webster Band. Today they focus on sides recorded between February 15, 1941 and July 26, 1942. We hear the last of Jimmie Blanton (who dies July 30, 1942 of tuberculosis at the age of 23), Barney Bigard (who is replaced in the last session by Chauncey Haughton), and Ivey Anderson.
