Cootie Williams was Ellington's greatest star during the thirties. His departure from the Band in 1940 was considered a tremendous loss. He would come back during the sixties, and this fantastic video shows the tremendous impact of his voice.
Henri de Lagardère well, he actually once got turned down his suggestion for returning back to Duke's band, because Duke thought that'd be better to him. In fact, cootie had his huge success with his own big band in 50s.
Master bluesmen at work ,audio bliss.

soulful, artistic, and full of wisdom. man we need more music like this!
The sound makes me believe this guy went through several trumpets a month. The horn sounds like its about to burst.
Absolute masterpiece.
