...And His Mother Called Him Bill
...And His Mother Called Him Bill is the seventh studio album by Duke Ellington. He recorded the album in the wake of the May 31, 1967 death of his long-time music partner Billy Strayhorn. Ellington was devastated. Those close to the bandleader and composer noted he went into a deep depression, similar to the one he experienced at the death of his mother in the late 1930s. Ellington knew he had to do something to pull himself out of this funk, and to memorialize the man he's worked closely with since 1939. Soon after Strayhorn's passing, Ellington decided to record this tribute, using the late composer's own arrangements and charts.
