The Duke
to per
The day after his father's funeral
in May 1974, Mercer Ellington took
the orchestra to Bermuda as
previously committed to play at
IBM's Golden Circle Convention. It
\was a hard decision to make, and
hard to fulfill, but in doing so

tradition established by Duke
Ellington during his five triumphant
decades as a bandleader.
This tradition will be brought to the
Russell House Ballroom Wednesday
night, beginning at 8.
Growing up as the loyal son of an
internationally famous father
entailed both rewards and
frustrations. Mercer's own in
dividual talents, particularly as an
arranger and a composer, were
inevitably overshadowed by those
of his father.
Since he took over for his father,
Mercer has been at pains to

maintain that tradition, musically
as well as professionally and
ethically. The band's library
contains all the famous compositions
and arrangements, and
he has steadily reactivated items
in it that had become less familiar
through neglect in recent years. It
is now possible to see his majestic
output in some kind of perspective
and to restore classics to the
prominence they deserve. This
mwccr is systematically doing,
and he is also able to spring
enlightening surprises by playing
compositions written by his father
that were never publicly performed.
The band's personnel includes
such musicians as Harold Ashby,
Money Johnson and Chuck Connors,
whose long association with
the Duke Ellington ensures
authenticity of interpretation.
Conducted by Mercer, the band's
performances have resulted in

in Atlantic City.
Besides such engagements,
Mercer has appeared as guest
conductor at the American Song
Festival in Saratoga and at the AllCity
High School Band Contest in
Los Angeles. He is also writing the
biography of his famous father for
publication by Houghton Mifflin of
Boston.
With the Ellington Orchestra
under Mercer's leadership, Duke
Ellington's music will continue to
be a healthy and joyous element in
twentieth-century life. The performance
