Number 59 - Rockin' In Rhythym by Duke Ellington
This was one I forgot when I was listing my favourite old jazz stuff. A programme on television about old home movies used an instrumental that was so familiar. I thought it must be a Duke Ellington composition but trawling tracks on Spotify did not reveal the source. So I turned to my old mono LP's from the early 60's and found one containing recordings from 1927 to 1930. The tune turned out to be the title track, and apparently is one of the Duke's most famous compositions. I have to say there are now ore modern recordings which do the composition more justice.
