Ellington: Oh How I Love My Darling (Sonny Greer voc.), How Come You Do Me Like You Do (Florence Bristol voc.), Deacon Jazz (Jo Trent voc.), Rainy Nights, Choo Choo. Morton: Perfect Rag/Sporting House Rag. James P. Johnson: You Can't Do What My Last Man Did. Henderson: Copenhagen. Moten: Goofy Dust. Doc Cook: My Daddy Rocks Me with One Steady Roll. Fate Marable: Riverboat Jazz Pianoflage. Armstrong: Of All the Wrongs You Have Done To Me, Santa Claus Blues. Fletcher Henderson: Prince of Wails, One of These Days.
Ellington’s solo breaks at breakneck speed take the road less travelled. But what to make of Otto Hardwick’s saxophone and Miley who put Ellington on the map. There are only 5 tunes at this point but Choo Choo was a vehicle for the Goofus Five and Rainy Nights is also worthy. Here by contrast are relevant bands and pianists particularly James P. And the Henderson band.
