[Answered] On the Sunny Side of the Street, Duke Ellington

#1 Post by meadtastic » Sun Aug 26, 2007 8:07 pm

saw this vid of skye and sarah doing a class routine to a mix of two versions of "On the Sunny Side of the Street"

The first is a Dizzie Gillespie version, but I can't figure out what the second version is. Any ideas?

That's a song that always sound good!

The piano sounded a little like Ellington at the beginning and I cant remember if JR and DE did a session together.
Will big bands ever come back?
