An upbeat solo piano interpretation, arrangement and performance by Andy Wasserman of this classic tune by Maestro Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974): A highly popular song in its day, Ellington's own 1944 recording of this song was a number one hit R&B chart for eight non-consecutive weeks and number six on the pop charts. This solo piano Jazz interpretation by Andy Wasserman was inspired by Earl "Fatha" Hines, one of the most influential figures in the development of jazz piano and, according to one source, "one of a small number of pianists whose playing shaped the history of jazz" - especially from his stellar album released in 1971 entitled EARL HINES PLAYS ELLINGTON.
