mikeweil Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 It's real good, only one of them singing - I'll never be able to tell them apart - one of the purest jazz tracks on all of their albums. To me this version is right up there with Sarah Vaughan and Peggy Lee. Did Billie Holiday ever sing that song? I couldn't find it among the recordings I have.

Cyril Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 22 hours ago, page said: Cootie Chesterfield is registered as trumpet player for Peggy's rendition. I didn't know his real name was Pete Candoli. Thanks, Larry, those are nice facts to learn. Pete appeared on the record sleeve as Cootie Chesterfield. He was under contract to Capitol Records, and they wouldn't let him use his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Billie never did. I like the song by Sassy (or Ella). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRyN9wQ1taY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only horn is trumpeter Pete Candoli, originally billed for contractual reasons as "Cootie Chesterfield." I doubt that, respectfully. Too low to be a trumpet. I'll listen again, though... 29 minutes ago, fasstrack said: I doubt that, respectfully. Too low to be a trumpet. I'll listen again, though... Wow, he's really in low tessatora (sp.). Right in the Buck Clayton range. Fooled me twice... Love that half step above the chord he plays at the very end...
