No Im mixing up "Jump for Joy" with "Black, Brown and Biege".
CB Civil Rights Ellington participated in the Civil Rights movement from the 1940s on. In 1941 he wrote the score for the musical Jump for Joy, a show intended to debunk common movie stereotypes of African American popular culture. During the Carnegie Hall premier of Black, Brown, and Beige he told the audience of society figures that people of all colors were backing the war effort to defend the red, white and blue. http://chevalierdesaintgeorges.homestead.com/ellington.html ELLINGTON, Duke: Jump For Joy (1941-1942) (Duke Ellington, Vol. 8) Strayhorn, Billy Take The 'A' Train Ellington, Duke, piano Duke Ellington Orchestra 1.
