Jeez, after all the ‘TV shows I don’t watch’ and ‘US sports/college sports I don’t follow’ questions, I thought I was taking it easy on you guys with Ellington/Strayhorn… I can’t even bear to point out that what I really meant was compositions where they collaborated and not compositions by one or the other alone; we’d be here til the end of the month if I did that.
