<p>Duke Ellington was an influential American jazz pianist, bandleader, and composer. He is known for his residency at the Cotton Club from 1927 to 1931 and for composing over a thousand pieces, many of which have become standards in the genre. He frequently collaborated with Billy Strayhorn. Duke Ellington's son, Mercer Ellington, took over leadership of his father's orchestra until his own death in 1996. He is also the grandfather of Edward Ellington.</p>

Shot in and around the Bay Area in 1965 and originally broadcast on national television, Love You Madly portrays Duke Ellington in his autumn years as he prepares for his benchmark Concert of Sacred Music. The concert showcases choice selections from the maestro’s catalog and a tune composed specifically for the church’s consecration, “In the Beginning, God.” It was immediately hailed by the jazz cognoscenti as one of his greatest achievements.
