Sobering to think that all the younger people here in Amsterdam are now in their seventies ...

[Kmcnair1000]

that clarinet solo is so vibrating !

[Thundermonkeyms]

Woohoo Cat Anderson! :D

[dellforce]

This is my MOST FAVORITE ELLINGTON composition!¡! I get the urge to cut a rug when I hear it!¡!¡

[chknwang233]

2 people don't know what real jazz is! :P

[Jubel06]

@chknwang233

I'd even go as far to say that 2 people got their heads up their asses.

[demonking451]

I must laugh as today is his birthday

[polaktomax]

the best song I've ever heard

[jeremysgoldberg]

What year is this?

[AngelaRed]

@jeremysgoldberg 1931! I'm updating my 80 years ago playlist and found out about this song on this site (if it don't work google " tsort 1931) I'm hearing it for the first time and love it already <3 <3

[122chucknorris]

Man, I wish I could screech like Cat!

[mrhipsterdoofus]

Somebody tell the audience to get up and shake it!!!

[mrbiffles]

This is totally cool. Great song and played in such an understated, yet solidly swinging, way. Everyone in the band knows they can rock the roof off!

[TheConeIsReturned]

where was this filmed?

[beastmode143]

my jazz band is playing it and im playing 1st trombone. any suggestions anybody?

[rene15092]

who ever gave this other than 5 stars it dumb

[Prodigy502]

i agree i deserves 5 stars

[Prodigy502]

sorry, i meant it deserves five stars

[redpotatofromafrica]

i love 1:32!

[Jubel06]

he has an amazing build up to it too.

[naizret]

The nice thing about the filming of this Amsterdam concert is that you can actually see DE playing. So often the camera concentrates on faces or the piano box or even the tapping feet of the pianist!

[Coolhowi]

playin this in our band

[selector111]

I don't know if he was better because I've heard a few of leo's recordings and cat has a way better tone when he plays above double C and leo doesn't have that good of tone when playing that high

[selector111]

Lol I'm guessing he didn't like his performance. I heard Leo could play a little higher and had better endurance, lol his nickname was leo "the wistler" shepard

[BurgSprinta]

Great Recording. I love "Kinda Dukish", the Piano piece Duke uses as an intro

[TheConeIsReturned]

@BurgSprinta yeah kinda dukish is so sweet. have you heard the alhambra recording of this piece? it's incredible.

[selector111]

It didn't seem like him cause he didn't do the uber high part at the end were he like tongues it lol, that parts amazing and I really liked the trombone solo it was funny, it sounded like the trombone said ya ya ya ya ya ya lol

[chrisisstill]

Who else could it be playing a triple High A....?

[pootershnitzel]

who's on drums?

[presenterful]

@pootershnitzel That's Sam Woodyard who followed Louis Bellson into the Duke Ellington Orchestra using the same double bass drum set up. Notice how solid he is with the back beat. He is also featured on some wonderful solos in the 50's.

[presenterful]

@pootershnitzel

That's Sam Woodyard who followed Louis Bellson with a similar double bass drum setup. Notice his solid back beat really helps the band groove!

[horbergus]

@chrisisstill i think you're kinda missing the point there

[selector111]

Genius, was that cat anderson, didn't really sound like it maybe it was leo shepard or someone

[bd205]

how slick, inventive and infectious - can't get enough of it- thanks
