“Written by Earle Hagen as a tribute to Duke Ellington, this piece was nonetheless played by hundreds of different artists, but none better than this version, here on an old 78rpm. The alto sax by Rene Block really hits the spot. The note hold near the end is almost twenty seconds long and made the hairs stand on the back of my neck. Enjoy. #TheJohnnyOtisWeek”
