The Friday Poem: Duke Ellington Plays Satin Doll

September 3, 2021 at 9:16 am (Poetry)

This is a poem I wrote last Spring during a jazz poetry event while I listened to Duke Ellington playing Satin Doll. I remembered my aunt talking about going to listen to a big band in Binghamton, NY and dance. I don’t know which band so I took some license here.
