What's the story with Tiny Grimes being there?

I don't know about that.  According to a comment posted for this video on YouTube, this was filmed on Feb. 23, 1970.  Harry Carney's dad had just died which is why Russell Procope is there on baritone sax.  Johnny Hodges would pass away less than 3 months after this, so this may be some of the last video footage of him around.

I think Ellington's music was fascinating from beginning to end. So I could easily recommend ALL of these; every single one has something to recommend it. That said, the recordings in bold are particularly special to this listener.

Very Hard to argue with the above posting.

Ellington's participation on this one is a blast to listen to, just like with Cote d'Azur.

I love the version of "Indian Summer" from this album.
