Показать описание
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington 1899 –1974. An American composer, pianist, and leader of a jazz orchestra, which he led from 1923 until his death over a career spanning more than fifty years.

Black, Brown and Beige is an extended jazz work written by Duke Ellington for his first concert at Carnegie Hall, on January 23, 1943. Ellington introduced it at Carnegie Hall as "a parallel to the history of the Negro in America." It was Ellington's longest and most ambitious composition.

Mahalia Jackson 1911 –1972. An American gospel singer. Possessing a powerful contralto voice,[2] she was referred to as "The Queen of Gospel". She became one of the most influential gospel singers in the world and was heralded internationally as a singer and civil rights activist. She was described by entertainer Harry Belafonte as "the single most powerful black woman in the United States". She recorded about 30 albums (mostly for Columbia Records) during her career, and her 45 rpm records included a dozen "golds"—million-sellers.
"I sing God's music because it makes me feel free", Jackson once said about her choice of gospel, adding, "It gives me hope. With the blues, when you finish, you still have the blues."

On this Video 'Come Sunday' the most powerful song from the Duke Ellington's jazz suite 'Black Brown and Beige'
Vintage Images of hard labouring in the cotton fields from the days of slavery. Also of the Sunday ritual of worship in one's 'Sunday Best' extending through the ages almost to the present day, Sunday was a day of rest and a day when communities came together in the wider Christian world.

I listened to this song while growing up. I've always loved it, but now that I'm older, I feel it DEEP within my spirit. I thank God that we've been blessed with such artists during our lifetime. ❤❤

I remember I first heard this song about 15 years ago, while driving. It was playing on the radio station KBLX. It absolutely floored me! I felt I was listening to an angel singing.

Gripping, haunting, beautiful beyond word. Mahalia's vocals, Duke's arrangment. A gift from God. Wish I really had the words.

Pas de répétitions, juste une et une seule prise d'enregistrement et une divine performance. Envoutant !J'ai écouté ce titre pour la première fois il y a plus de 30 ans. L'émotion est toujours la même aujourd'hui. Merci, Ma Mahalia.
