Un classico di Ella Fitzgerald, questo schema è una trascrizione fedele della sua versione e non assomiglia affatto alla versione strumentale di Les Brown / Skippy Martin. Abbiamo anche scritto la lin...

Corner Pocket è stato scritto dall'eroe non celebrato della band di Count Basie, Freddie Green, e il titolo fa riferimento al luogo che Green chiamava suo - la tasca d'angolo della sezione ritmica. Ab...
