Duke Ellington in Howard Theatre - 1921
from Duke Ellington: Music is my Mistress, page 66:
Sidney Bechet was one of the truly great originals. I shall never forget the first time I heard him play, at the Howard Theatre in Washington around 1921. I had never heard anything like it. It was a completely new sound and conception to me.
