Duke Ellington - "Take The A Train" (1964)


Hello Friends,

Keepin' it classy on a Friday! Is it 5 o'clock yet?

Great live version of Ellington's theme tune from 1964.

Featuring a rare on-camera clip of composer Billy Strayhorn! 

That's Ernie Shepard on double-bass & vocals!

Enjoy!

  2. Ha ha! It would be funny if he said, "Now here's a song called Taking The Bus"
