Jack Towers

Sound engineer -- via the Washington Post. On November 7, 1940, he and Dick Burris made one of the most important live recordings in history -- the Duke Ellington Orchestra at the Crystal Ballroom in Fargo, North Dakota. This unique artifact shows the band at one of its peaks, and gives the listener an astonishing feel for an evening with a great musical genius.
