Duke Ellington and Bob Russell, 1943. The instrumental version from 1940 was entitled "Concerto for Cootie", referring to Cootie Williams, Ellington's lead trumpeter.
very nice, as always, Doug - very smooth..... one of Duke's nicest tunes. I'm always impressed by the tone of your pineapple - suits your style to a 'T'.

Thanks, Bill. I usually like to add a touch of reverb, but the rules for this season disallowed that, so that's pretty close to the way it really sounds.
