Lot 502 | Music score signed
First edition of the printed piano-vocal score, signed by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. Inscribed in red ballpoint pen on the front cover ‘To Andy Mansfield, Madly, Billy Strayhorn’ and in black ballpoint pen on the first page ‘Duke Ellington’.
Billy Strayhorn joined the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1939 and quickly became Ellington’s chief collaborator and arranger. Reportedly, Strayhorn was inspired to write Take the ‘A’ Train by the directions Duke provided on his first arriving in New York from Pittsburgh, and it soon became the signature tune of the Ellington Orchestra. The recipient, Andy Mansfield, was a Los Angeles radio broadcaster known for the music programmes Turn Back the Clock and America’s Popular Music.
Printed piano-vocal score, bifolium, 305 x 228 mm.
