Ellington Duke - Sophistocated Lady

They say into, our early life romance came,
and in this heart of your burned a flame,
A flame that flickered one day and dies away.
Then, with disillusions deep in your eyes,
you learned that fools in love soon grow wise.
The years have changed you, somehow;
I see you now . . . . .
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow,
nonchalant,
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some
man in a restaurant,
Is that all you really want?
No,
Sophisticated lady, I know, you miss the love
you lost long ago,
and when nobody is nigh you cry.

@aznprd92 Second to Mulligan? Are you crazy? Carney put the Baritone on the map and had the most gorgeous tone in jazz history. Mulligan was a great player but a better arranger and behind Serge Challof and Leo Parker in my opinion, of the bebop Baritones. Carney was in a league of his own imo!!

I dunno... I still like the track from "Duke in Munich" way better. I'm playing this in our senior jazz band. It's an amazing piece :) The long note at the end is hard on my little lungs :P

It's more flashy than anything. He was showing off his ability to circular breathe. I actually liked it.
