--Duke Ellington is regarded as one of the most important figures in jazz history.

--He composed incessantly, led his own band for decades, and was an extraordinary pianist.

--Ellington elevated jazz to be perceived as an art form on the level of the other great musical genres. In jazz he was a giant.

--This song was written and first recorded in 1940, but under a different name.

--New lyrics and title were added in 1942 making it fly to the top of the charts when both Ellington's band and "Ink Spots" recordings hit the shelves.

--Keith Terrett has written a delightful arrangement for brass quintet of about five minutes in length for moderately advanced performers.
