Reissue, originally released in 1957.
A Drum Is A Woman
is a musical allegory by American pianist, composer, and bandleader
Duke Ellington
and his long-time musical collaborator
Billy Strayhorn
. It tells the story of
Madam Zajj
, the personification of African rhythm, and
Carribee Joe
, who has his roots firmly in the jungle with his drums. Zajj travels out into the world seeking fame and sophistication and melds with the influences of cultures she weaves through the story, which gives a brief history of the rise of jazz and bebop. Originally recorded for the Columbia label in 1956, it was produced for television on the
US Steel Hour
on May 8, 1957.
