Ellington - Perdido
A great standard written by trombonist Juan Tizol, "Perdido" is one of the peaks of big band performance. If, with Mingus, I asked you to take off your hat as he passed by, ladies and gentlemen, I suggest you listen to this piece (and all the solos it comprises, each at the physical limit that defines where swing ends and bop begins) directly on your knees. Am I exaggerating? Naaaah, listen and kneel, in disbelief.
