[airdriver]

I first heard this song a few years ago at the end of the Sean Connery movie called "Rising Sun" and always wondered who had recorded it. Thanks for posting.

anybody know a similar sounding artist? i mean i know its duke but that really moody deep dark jazz style. anyone?

[Easleytee]

@spike4379

Listen to Bill Evans. Lyrical and Debussy-inspired pianist.

[Easleytee]

@spike4379

Listen to McCoy Tyner as a soloist on his instrument as well.

Resplendent.

The most beautiful shit I've ever heard The Duke play. 

[solly2kings]

Simply one of the most amazing songs ever written. Duke's genius knew no bounds. Now this is classical music.

[McHomicide]

My gosh, this song is melting my soul in its beauty...it's probably one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard in my entire life.

[cupabara]

Why is it so sad?

[brooklynbuglet]

@cupabara i think he wrote this for his mother after she passed away.

[mmenege]

It's on The Queen's Suite.

[ageshero]

Does any one know what album this can be found on

[gmoke]

@ageshero This song is from Duke's Queen's Suite composed for Queen Elizabeth II. Originally, he pressed only one copy exclusively for her. It is available on the album Ellington Suites.

[ageshero]

One of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard.

[TheDrFunkenstein]

I saw Joe Temperly perform this on Bass Clarinet, with Marcus Roberts. I cried.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
