I hate having about 5 earworms at the same time. (I already have a few others on the brain besides these specimens of perfect early jazz.)

:grr:

Good songs, though. :P

1. You could do a lot worse than Duke Ellington! Those are both great songs.
Why not throw in "Satin Doll," "Take the A Train" and "Mood Indigo" and have a complete Ellington/Strayhorn concert in your head. Sounds like a great time to me.

3. I'm listening to those three right now.
Also "Prelude to a Kiss," because it's amazing. :P

2. Listen to "Jazz Party"...
...a combination recording session/jam session he did with Dizzy...and one of the greatest jazz albums ever. Hopefully, this will get into your head, too...especially "Hello, Little Girl"--no personal aspersions, I assure you--with Jimmy Rushing's blues singing...heaven...:-)...
