J. Freedom du Lac reports about the legendary yet little known jam sessions Ahmed and Nesuhi Ertegun , sons of the Turkish Ambassador to the United States, held at the Washington Embassy in the 1930s and 1940s inviting their favorite musicians ( Washington Post ). The current Turkish Ambassador organizes six invitation-only concerts to commemorate the jazz legacy of the building. Du Lac recalls how the Erteguns "flouted the conventions of segregated Washington by welcoming black musicians through the front door". There is no record of who visited the Erteguns, but from articles in the Washington Post and photos by Bill Gottlieb at the Library of Congress, "the cumulative guest list probably included [Lester] Young, [Benny] Carter, boogie-woogie pianist Meade Lux Lewis, blues giant Leadbelly, and members of the Count Basie and [Duke] Ellington bands".
