Happy Feet Friday
Indubitably, inimitably, unmistakably, Duke Ellington. Here he is from 1940, one of the most brilliantly creative years of his career, with the classic, "Cottontail".
Duke is in a class of his own. That's surely Ben Webster in the long first solo. What a tone, had to listen twice, so good.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's Ben Webster, alright. One of the greatest.
