Duke Ellington - Memories Of Duke (DVD)

Duke Ellington - The Essential

Advantages: The fundamentals - Classic Big Band Style Jazz
Disadvantages: Sound quality was poor

Duke Ellington composed many interesting traditional jazz music suited at that time for big band style. Amongst the popular music he wrote were Mood Indigo, It Don't Mean A Thing, Caravan, Chelsea Bridge and many more. His compositions in my opinion were very radical compared to those of the traditional era which cause some people to dislike it.

Review of Duke Ellington

Dine like a Duke

Disadvantages: A bit small for buggies, awkward downstairs toilet access.

These are very crispy but do have a tendency to be freakishly hot. They come with a little pot of mayonnaise. If you are peckish, a serving of these will fill the hole. £3.25 * Flank steak (with chips!) *. Boyf had this on Saturday and I'll admit I'm not a huge steak fan but this was amazing. It had ...
