Duke Ellington put together the greatest collection of skilled musicians ever assembled....however.....it was very rare that they would put much effort into performing with singers...Mel Torme learned the hard way.....however the one album Sinatra recorded with the Duke ...Francis A. & Edward K.....included one of his finest recordings ever... Indian Summer....helped along by an incredible solo from Johnny Hodges...."My God! That's unbelievable John"...was the greatest praise Sinatra who rarely spoke directly to the orchestra/band at recording sessions...would ever give a musician
Watching the drummer I sense that he's not really playing, almost like the song is a recording, not live. Also, the song is cut short for TV. The "real" version is longer.
You can tell Ed REALLY Loved Duke Ellington
He loved the Count as well, if not more.
Cat Anderson on trumpet is incredible
He was way up there loud and clean, wasn't he?

1960s analog video editing is so primitive yet intriguing for whatever reason
The music is more important than the editing.
Wow! That trumpet player deserves some extra applause, at least! 👏👏👏👏👏
That's Cat Anderson.
I like the use of geometry here. 😁
Now I see why Stevie Wonder recorded the song "Sir Duke" tribute to Duke Ellington. He and his band were top notch.
William "Cat" Anderson holding the cleanest and meanest double F# i ever heard
That was Sensational!
Awesome sets... the colors make me think spring!
Happy Thursday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Yes, absolutely!!
More of an orchestra than you usually find on RUclips!
Like with the Woody Herman video posted last week, Duke's band was also backing up Tony Bennett during this episode, and this was their solo number.
Amazing! thank you!
Duke 🎹 was the King!! 🗽🆒

The lead trumpet player shooting laser beams! God damn! 😯😎🎺🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 They don't 2:57 make them like that anymore
Pure talent ❤
Rufis speedy Jones on drums
A classic so well mastered
Would be great to see more of Ed's introductions, in addition to the performance. Like Brook Benton perhaps?
What jazz is meant to sound like
1:03 I see musicians shop the toilet unstopper aisle at the local hardware store.
yeah, I've seen classier mutes...but they both work
Yeah, they don't only have to wear them as hats like you do.
RIP MAESTRO!
