Baby! take me down to Duke’s Place,
Wildest box in town is Duke’s Place
Love that piano sound in Duke’s Place.
Saxes do their tricks in Duke’s Place,
Fellas swing their chicks in Duke’s Place
Come on! Get your kicks in Duke’s Place!
You find yourself a seat, and when you want to eat,
You look around and yell, «Waiter!»
You fill your cup chock full of dreams and drink it up You’re jetting along with your girlie
It’s after three o’clock, but baby, it’s still early!
If you’ve never been to Duke’s Place,
Take your tootsies into Duke’s Place
Life is in a spin in Duke’s Place
Every name that appears on the screen is a jazz legend. Probably his most creative period and arguably the best band he had when this was filmed. WONDERFUL!! Thanks for finding this great "soundie"--it's terrific!
This is class. I always find room in my heart for jazz. Nothing like listening to the greats: Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Johnny Coltrane, Louis Armstrong. It really soothes the soul.
Awe man. Ben Webster makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up to attention. Very few players can do this. Charlie Parker, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Oscar Peterson.
