Duke Ellington’s ‘My People’ opened in Chicago August 16, 1963. Duke Ellington did everything. He wrote the music, the words, directed it and did the orchestrations. There were not enough money involved to hire Duke Ellington’s orchestra. Instead they hired a 16 piece orchestra with Jimmy Jones as the pianist. A recording of the show was made on August 20, 21 and 28 supervised by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington. The CD contains for the fi rst time the complete show. Duke Ellington in ’My People’ chose the strategy to emphasize the positive achievements of black people to America life, rather than protest against injustice. It had only one minute of social protest written into its script. ‘My People’ is not political. It has social signifi cance, but the accent will be on entertainment.

My People' de Duke Ellington se estrenó en Chicago el 16 de agosto de 1963. Duke Ellington lo hizo todo. Escribió la música, la letra, la dirigió e hizo las orquestaciones. No había suficiente dinero para contratar a la orquesta de Duke Ellington. En su lugar, contrataron una orquesta de 16 músicos con Jimmy Jones como pianista. Los días 20, 21 y 28 de agosto se realizó una grabación del espectáculo supervisada por Billy Strayhorn y Duke Ellington. El CD contiene por primera vez el espectáculo completo. Duke Ellington en "My People" eligió la estrategia de destacar los logros positivos de los negros en la vida de Estados Unidos, en lugar de protestar contra la injusticia. Sólo tenía un minuto de protesta social escrito en su guión. My People" no es política. Tiene un significado social, pero el acento se pone en el entretenimiento.
