3. Duke Ellington's U Street Quest (Part III)

Place: U Street - Washington, DC

Time: The Early 1900s

This is part 3 of a 3 part series on the life of American jazz legend Duke Ellington and the place where he grew up - Washington, DC's U Street corridor.

In this episode, Duke's quest to find his blessing comes to an end. After life throws him a curveball, the young piano man (and his new band) must navigate the DC music scene at the dawn of the Jazz Age. Will Duke Ellington and his Serenaders make it 'big time'? After the story, we bring in historian, tour guide & author Garrett Peck to talk about the colorful DC music venues Duke called home.
