[cdyson37]

From EC:

ellingtonia.com doesn't list the interview to Duke Ellington made by Nat Hentoff in Boston on Jan 26. D. Palmquist writes on his website:

"Ellington was interviewed by Down Beat's "Boston and environs" correspondent Nat Hentoff for the Le Jazz Hot show on FM radio station WLAW. The label of a possibly dubbed acetate recording of the interview, now owned by Steven Lasker, shows Ellington Interview 1-26-52, hand-written. Ellington was not in Boston 1952 01 26 but did play Storyville 1953 01 19-25. Since Hentoff remarked to Ellington that he had just finished an engagement at Storyville the day before, the interview can be dated 1953 01 26."

The interview was donated by Steven Lasker to DE Society of Sweden in 2021.
