The Jazz Museum in Harlem's engaging free jazz course, Jazz for Curious Listeners, continues this evening with the first of several weeks on the greatest composer and big band leader in jazz history, Duke Ellington.
As we head towards the holidays, what better way to get in the right mood than by finding out what led to this titan--what music, which musicians, what kind of culture produced him and, consequently, his music?
Join Loren Schoenberg as he puts a spotlight on the man who captured America on the musical page.

Colon has been singing and playing guitar since the age of three. By the time he graduated from high school, he was playing the acoustic bass, trombone, piano, and guitar, also having studied classical voice and all the Latin rhythm instruments. In the early sixties he formed the first Johnny Colon Orchestra, a Charanga band. In 1967, Cotique records released Boogaloo Blues, a Latin music classic. In 1972, at the height of his recording career, Colon founded the East Harlem Music School, the first music school anywhere devoted exclusively to the teaching of Salsa. Today, Colon still runs the school while serving as the lead vocalist, composer, and arranger of his large ensemble, which you can hear this Thursday for free!
