[Answered] Black & Tan Fantasy, Lincoln Center Jazz Orch
Anyone know the name the song from this video. It starts at 8:27. I thought is was sounded a little like Sidney Bechet but I can't find it.
Here's the clip:

... which, it should perhaps be mentioned, was written by Duke Ellington with his great growl trumpet player Bubber Miley and recorded innumerable times by different Ellington constellations from 1927 on. Ellington was deeply influenced by Bechet (who was in the band for a short while in the mid-1920s but never recorded with it), so the first guess wasn't that far off the mark.straycat wrote:It's a version of Black & Tan Fantasy
A bit of Swinglish, that, just like what you'll hear in Herräng. In Swedish it would just have been normal idiomatic usage; in English it takes on other meanings. I didn't even think about the astronomical sense of the word, but now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense.Eyeball wrote:Interesting usage of the word "constellation".

Now I really feel bad for the guy. If I can't even spell his name myself, surely there's little hope. So, to make amends: Billy TAYLOR was an excellent, very underrated bass player who was unfortunate enough to be in the Ellington band when the genius Jimmie Blanton was hired. Still, Cootie Williams is said to have preferred him to Blanton for rhythmic support.Eyeball wrote:And almost 70 years later and the poor SOB can't even get his name spelled correctly.J-h:n wrote:Yeah, and maybe poor Billy Tailor..........
There. Much better.
