  • truly a classic. It's actually Billy Strayhorn on piano here. Strayhorn composed the tune too. It's named after a painting of a bridge in London that Billy thought was Chelsea but really was Battersea Bridge.

  • @ssg263 So appreciate your knowledge on this :)

  • The classic recording featuring Ben Webster on tenor. I've listened to this recording all my life. A true classic. Thanks for posting!

  • This is the Dec. 2, 1941 version with Junior Raglin on bass. Interesting that the tune was re-recorded - the original Sept. 26, 1941 version featured Jimmy Blanton.

  • listened to this since 80 years. probably the best orchestral work ellingfons. especially webster.
