Juan Tizols composition from 1941. Lyrics have been written by Ervin Drake and Hans Lengsfelder. As Wikipedia states, Perdido (spanish for "lost") refers to a resort town in the Florida Keys.
The song is famos for various interpretations by the Duke Ellington Orchestra and has been sung by all the great ladies of Jazz: Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington and others. There's fantastic versions of Charlie Parker, Art Tatum and many others, too. We recorded this on one cold, lost sunday afternoon in Port near Biel, Switserland, near the end of november 2010.
