Steinway News publishes the photo of Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington, the Steinway Artist, “before an enthusiastic audience of 1,600 people in the nave of Coventry’s new Cathedral”. This is the first time a portrait of a black Steinway Artist is printed in Steinway & Sons in-house publication. More will follow soon, thanks to Frederick Steinway’s love of jazz music, and to improvements of civil rights in the United States.
