ellington's gift for jazz composition was amazing...he had very few peers, really - the only one who really even tried to compose at his level was mingus....
that is true..two genius musicians, love that Money Jungle album. Ellington's small groups are a real pleasure. but so are the big bands! and the spin off groups, like Johnny Hodges' bands..
love it all.
johnny hodges (along with Paul Desmond) is my fave altoist ever...johnny hodges, johnny hodges, johnny hodges, as it goes...man, both these cats had an amazing liquid tone that just melts me....
Thanks TooTough for the info.

it's on several ellington releases - i'm a huge ellington fan and i have it on the 3cd bluebird release, The Blanton-Webster Band, covering his recordings from 1940-42...this is the original version the Stones used....

Hats off to Duke and of course the great Johnny Hodges. Love his 1970 album New Orleans Suite.
