Sophisticated Ladies (1982)

"Memorable music and incredible dancing transport you into the Grand Duke's world! Here's the eye popping, foot-stomping, Tony award-winning musical extravaganza that will send you into jazz heaven!"

The classic songs of legendary jazz composer Duke Ellington come alive on stage in this performance video. Duke Ellington's Sophisticated Ladies documents a performance of the popular Broadway revue, built around more than two dozen great tunes from Ellington's songbook. Hinton Battle, Paula Kelly and Phyllis Hyman headline the cast for this production; songs include "Take The A Train," "Caravan," "Satin Doll," "In a Sentimental Mood," "Mood Indigo," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," and many more.
