Capitol Records / Duke Ellington

Marc Myers researches the architecture for the Capitol Records building in Hollywood, an iconographic landmark often believed to have been inspired by a stack of vinyl records whereas, as Myers finds out, the architect Lou Naidorf didn't even know the client's name when he handed in his plans which came out of his late 1940s graduate thesis ( Wall Street Journal). --- We were alerted of a highly informative rehearsal tape in which drummer Sonny Greer explains the rhythmic intricacies of Duke Ellington's "Echoes of Harlem" during a recording session with Cootie Williams and his Rug Cutters from January 1938 ( Vimeo).
