 I love it too. I would be excited if I found it at an estate sale. Unfortunately, in my area, it seems to have taken people until the late 1930s before they even discovered Duke Ellington.

 A side ("Blues I Love To Sing"):


Also a lovely piece, with beautiful choruses by Bubber Miley on muted trumpet, Harry Carney on soprano sax, Tricky Sam Nanton on trombone, and a great, throaty scat vocal by Adelaide Hall.

Maybe the record was overshadowed by "Creole Love Call" on Victor 21137, which was recorded on the same day as "The Blues I Love to Sing" (October 26, 1927) and features an even more impressive scat solo by Adelaide Hall. That song, backed by "Black and Tan Fantasy", had come out several months earlier, on February 3, 1928.(DAHR)

 You mean, the December 19, 1927 session that yielded "Blue Bubbles."

Here is the song. Quite a spirited version and a great example of the Ellington orchestra's early “jungle” sound. Strange that it wasn't an immediate hit:

 Victor 21490 was a Race release and records show it sold only 7852 copies before it was deleted in 1930. The record was subsequently reissued in the general catalog on Victor 22985 on June 2, 1932. That reissue sold only 3975 copies. These matrices were then transcribed for release on Bluebird B-6531 & B-6415 in 1936.

The December 19, 1927 session at Liederkranz Hall that yielded "Blues I Love To Sing" is from the band's first session after they began their historic residence at The Cotton Club in Harlem earlier that month, on December 4, 1927.
