That looks interesting Fran, Clark Terry is on of my favourite trumpet players, do you like it?

Its good Sean - there's a few standards on there, but it doesn't suffer for that.

Very nice live set. Great alternative arrangements, especially if you're familiar with the originals.

Indigos is a fine album, it by no means Ellington's best but it does contain some real gems. It was recorded in 1957 and Duke was able to welcome back Harold 'Shorty' Baker as section leader and include him in a magnificent trumpet section consisting of 'Cat' Anderson, Harold Baker, Willie Cook, Clark Terry (trumpet) and Ray Nance (trumpet, violin)

Here is 'Shorty' Baker on Mood Indigo, it's simply gorgeous:

First course on the menu this evening - a tasty latino/lounge starter with a Rubalcaba sauce.
