On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel digs into the archives for his 2016 conversation with the late Dan Morgenstern, legendary jazz scholar, about the 1952 Duke Ellington concert in Seattle. A recording of the concert was first issued in 1954 by RCA; Mr. Morgenstern wrote the liner notes for the 1995 reissue. The 1952 Seattle concert was held at the old Civic Auditorium, now McCaw Hall at Seattle Center. Mr. Morgenstern passed away in 2024 at age 94.
