This piece is a contrafact - that means it borrows the chord progression from another song but uses another melody on top of it. The chord progression was originally from Gershwin's I've got rhythm. It also features two of his members in the solos Ben webster on tenor sax, and Jimmy Blanton as the bassist

WHAT AN AMAZING COMPOSER ELLINGTON WAS. THIS TUNE WAS COMPOSED IN 1940. A FEW YEARS BEFORE BOP BECAME PROMINENT. ALTHOUGH IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY YOU WILL HEAR BOP SIMILARITIES. I GUESS THAT IS WHY ALL THE BOP AND HARD BOP GUYS ADMIRED DUKE.

One of my favourite Duke tunes. The composition is awesome. This has a lot of fun hooks.

Joel Altre-Kerber

Blanton. That is all.

alan cobain

without a doubt, the best band the duke ever had.

John Pizzarelli`s version is awsome too

No, this isn't bebop. This is the Ellington aggregation at it's BEST, it's prime ... and we could note the exceptional ensemble playing, the rhythm section, the solos of Webster and Harry Carney ... and how this piece THRUSTS from start-to-finish. Duke, Freddy Guy, (the late) Jimmy Blanton, and the impeccable Sonny Greer anchor the rhythm section, and NO ONE has ever-surpassed that group ... even the rhythm section of the Basie Orch., at IT'S best.
