I love the way <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U-_gMpdXBI">Ellington</a> did it a lot. Nowadays so many people play it very straight ahead, &amp; I think that gets boring. So we experimented. At first <a href="http://www.barryzweig-guitar.com/">Barry</a> tried to put a funk beat behind it, but I'm not sure about it. On the second chorus I was thinking that since I've been to Egypt I should use that as inspiration to experiment with different melodies. I think in the future I'll probably take that a lot further, I kind of liked the feel. So, we'll see.</small> http://music.metafilter.com/mefi/1056 tag:music.metafilter.com,2007:site.1056 Thu, 19 Apr 2007 15:04:09 -0800 caravan dukeellington ellington guitar guitarist jazz singer singing vocalist vocals miss lynnster
