@HopelessSoldiers Ohh i thought it was the trumpet playing, I'm learning this in big band at the moment, Its an interesting technique/effect to try to pull off :P
Actually, I was just thinking about the mess music is in today (I.e. Lady Gaga, need I name anymore?) when Chopin's funeral march came in for the last four bars of the song :') How fitting.
@clintisfake lol I agree with the whole 2000's the world is going to a dump, but it was really hard to be in that generation because of the depression.
@clintisfake Yea have fun with the great depression and segregation. Should be a blast. Fortunately we dont need a time machine to listen to great music.
This is the third version Duke recorded of this song in 1927, but it's also THEE hit version, both it and it's B-side, "Creole Love Call", became top ten hits in 1928!

@knaliprice97 consider woody allen's newish film Midnight in Paris for your viewing pleasure and some commentary on the flaw of nostalgia

love the "wahwahwah" noises and the ending cadence the "interrupted" cadence, where it starts to play the song of death. Pretty cool =]

@HopelessSoldiers Yes, it's the trumpet! The blah, blah blah is from BUBBER MILEY! He died very young. Very gifted man.
