Ella Fitzgerald - A-Tisket, A-Tasket (Classic Decade)
I'm in love with you
And all that jazz
You're my dream come true
And all that jazz
Baby, you're too much
You've got the skin I love to touch
The skin I love to touch too much, mmm
And all that jazz
You have got the lips that suit my taste
And your fingertips can't be replaced
Oh, baby, what you've got, nobody has
And I've got you
And all that jazz
(Improvisation)
I said I'm in love with you
And all that jazz
You're my dream come true
And all that jazz
Baby, you're too much
You've got the skin I love to touch
The skin I love to touch too much, mmm
And all that jazz
You have got the lips that suit my taste
And your fingertips can't be replaced
Oh, baby, what you've got, nobody has
And I've got you
And all that jazz

Stunning, I am asked to sing "Lush Life" at an event later this month, in Pittsburgh at the Kelly/Strayhorn Theater, so I am doing more research on Strayhorn in general and came across this song, and it really is just so lovely. What do you think of the lyrics that Elvis Costello wrote for it?

The greatest alto player ever,playing music composed by the greatest composer ever.
By the way,Strayhorn did not compose this as he lay dying. The tune was composed years earlier and was first called "Elf". Ellington choose to record it on "And His Mother....." and changed the title. Strayhorn did the same thing on "Star Crossed Lovers" It was called "Pretty Little Girl".

Nice info. You seem like you understand Ellington. Have u heard any of the later stuff like the afro-Eurasian eclipse and New Orleans suite?

If I seem a stranger
I feel far from danger
We tamper and we toy
With passion over joy
Even though my flame burns blue
Even though the fire that once was desire
Doesn't look for trouble or dare to flare
Look now
And I won't be there
