Duke Ellington
We hear a symphonic version of one of Duke Ellington's most popular jazz anthems, "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" — as well as a snappy little Ellington arrangement from clarinetist Don Byron, "Blue Ribbons." Later, composer Francis Poulenc performs his own concerto for two pianos in a recording from 1962, and we hear works from American composers Eric Ewazen, John Harbison, and Charles Ives.

Question. What was the name of the first piece played at 7PM on Evening Music on November 24,2008?
Thanks.
Earlier this evening you played a version of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" by Duke Ellington. You also mentioned that this version could be found on a compilation with some other great artists including Joshua Redman. What is the name of the CD?
Hello,
Could you please share with me info about that you played around 7:20pm, it involved strings, kinda minimalist and repetitive and fast... I missed the announcement of name and composer.
Thanks,
Belinda
