Comment:

The rhythm of this song began to haunt me a few months back. I didn't know the name of the song (found that out from my father). Since I don't normally listen to jazz (whereas my father does), I can only figure I must have heard this many years ago as a young boy when my father was playing some Duke Ellington. To her credit, the lyrics in the last song by Ella Fitzerald is mostly done in 'scat' mode. Total playing time is 79m03s.
