Comment:

This mix (and its companion) was inspired by Hemizen's last mix, as well as Steve Mossholder's light-hearted challenge to pit his forthcoming Ellington mix against Terry's. It's also a re-working of my gigantic Ellington mix (under my lostinthemix handle) into two smaller, more manageable chunks (and including only Ellington `covers'). I've tried to include the familiar and the less so, as well as picking some less-than-conventional versions. As I said in my notes for the aforementioned mix, not all of these songs are Ellington's, but they were all given the Ellington stamp before they were sent off into the world of music.

(Note: this is an all-instrumental mix save the Cassandra Wilson. However, since Wilson is not, in the main, singing words, using her voice as an instrumentalist would to simply - simply?! - hit the notes, I've included it here as an `instrumental' track.)
