@reedman9 The photo is from the ONE MAN BAND session of April 18 1941 where he played ss, cl, ts (in Bb!), p, b and dr. By he way, the first multi-track record ever.

@oldtimejazzfan Neat stuff! Thanks for the great info.

Thank you! That's really interesting. I had no idea that this was the Duke's favorite version!

This was the Duke's favourite version of his own composition
