A celebration of Ellingtons music in todays world

"Play On (soundtrack) is alot like Ellington himself, fun, directed and to the point. Unfortunalty few saw the show on broadway, but the music lives on in this inspired cd that blends Ellingtons music and Shakespeares theme and poetry. Derived from twelve night, the music takes Vy through Harlem in search of what is right. A beat is never missed and If you were lucky enough to have caught the show, the Soundtrack evokes memories of a Legitimate Thearte success, that the public didn't want to grasp."
