I once had a gown; it was almost new
Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue
With little forget-me-nots placed here and there
When I had it on, I walked on the air
And it wore, and it wore, and it wore
Till it went, and it wasn't no more
In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
Till it wilted, I wore it; I'll always adore it
My sweet little Alice blue gown
The little silk worms that made silk for that gown
Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground
For there never was anything like it before
And I don't dare to hope there will be any more
But it's gone 'cause it just had to be
Still it wears in my memory
In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and so shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
So it wouldn't be proper if made of silk were another
My sweet little Alice blue gown
Edward Kennedy Ellington, noto come Duke Ellington, è stato un leggendario direttore d'orchestra, compositore e pianista jazz statunitense. Nato a Washington D.C. nel 1899, Ellington ha trascorso la sua vita a plasmare il panorama musicale americano. Iniziò suonando al piano in locali di Washington prima di trasferirsi a New York nel 1923, dove formò la sua band, inizialmente chiamata "The Duke's Orchestra". L'orchestra di Ellington divenne rapidamente una delle più famose del mondo, grazie alla sua musica innovativa e alle performance energiche. Ellington era un maestro nell'arte della composizione jazz, creando brani iconici come "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)", "Take the 'A' Train" e "Mood Indigo". Il suo stile musicale si caratterizzava per l'uso di melodie memorabili, arrangiamenti complessi e un ritmo contagioso. Ellington ha collaborato con alcuni dei più grandi musicisti jazz del XX secolo, tra cui Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday e Johnny Hodges. La sua influenza sul jazz è stata immensa, ispirando generazioni di musicisti e contribuendo a definire l'identità musicale americana. Ellington è morto nel 1974, lasciando un patrimonio musicale straordinario che continua ad essere apprezzato in tutto il mondo.
