This excellent, tired as the lyrics are Mr 5x5 really gives them meaning

love the shot of freddie green chording over basie's shoulder. don't forget that webster was with ellington during the early 40s. rushing is one of my favorites. if you haven't heard him with basie in the 30s - 'exactly like you', 'boogie woogie', 'georgianna', 'sent for you yesterday' - you haven't lived.

Actually, Count's band sounds strongly Dukish here, due to the Ellington-influenced arrangement by Andy Gibson, who also wrote that piece. Immortal recording, endlessly enjoyable.

This is so freakin great. What sensational singing by Mr. 4x4 and the band is sooo powerful.

Thanks for posting this!

Cheers to real music! Someone should show this to some of these new aged "talkers" and "noise makers" who think what they're doing is music. I wish kids and teenagers would move on from what the public media feeds them.
