Ode to Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, 2021

“Take The A Train” (This is for the chil’ren. Yes the chil’ren).

Talib the Cheetah from Bushwick operates the A Train uptown to Harlem while erudites Big Moo and J Blue Smoove engage in a gentleman’s game of cee-lo while making their way to Smalls Jazz Club.
