"Jazz Potpourri" by Duke Ellington

Here is an outstanding performance by the Duke Ellington Orchestra, recorded December 1938. "Jazz Potpourri" is an Ellington original and features great solo work by Cootie Williams on trumpet, Barney Bigard on clarinet, and "Tricky" Joe Nanton on trombone.I set the camera up so that you can see the record changing mechanism of the player in action.Please visit my website, http://www.virtualvictrola.com... for more great music and memories from the Jazz Age and the Big Band Era.
