The Duke


This week, we have the great pleasure of bringing you the smooth sounds of jazz bandleader Duke Ellington – live, in-studio…



OK, so maybe he’s not in the studio. Maybe we don’t even have a studio. At any rate, the Sound Investment Jazz Ensemble, Middlebury’s own big band is performing a concert soon at the Mahaney Center for the Arts and Radio Arts Middlebury spoke with musical director – a Duke Ellington in his own right – Richard Forman.**** Also today, we’ll hear from Middlebury Professor Timothy Billings, who has recently translated a book of poetry by French poet Victor Segalen. Oddly enough, Segalen modeled his writings after a Chinese form of literature known as “Steles.” Finally, all those years of Chinese language studies pay off.



LISTEN to the Whole Show
