Duke Ellington in City of Kansas City - the 1940's
from Duke Ellington: Music is my Mistress, page 251:
When we were playing the Booker T. Washington theatre in Kansas City, we went to hear Joe Turner sing the blues every night, all night. Pete Johnson was playing piano for him, and it was a great kick.
