Ellington plays an electronic piano. He also recorded some things with this instrument a few years earlier for Capitol Records.

In my opinion as a lifelong professional musician, Duke Ellington is the Number One musical Genius of the Twentieth Century. Along with The Beatles, he's also one of the biggest influencers of my choice of career!!! I still listen to the soundtrack of "A Drum Is A Woman" and many of his works going back to the 1930's quite often.

Was that a giant TV monitor in 1957? Satellite hookup ? What's the deal

Billy Strayhorn wrote Satin Doll.

These actors are great but do you know who is greater? Jesus. He is selfless and loving. He died for everyone's sins, past, present, and future. Be careful when watching these films. We mustn't make these people our idols. Exodus 20:3-5 says "You must not have any other god but me. You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens on earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods." Not only that, but the end times are here. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 states "You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!" This is merely to inform people, not to attack them. God bless.
