Take The A Train
Swingin' With Edye Evans-Hyde 2013 via Independent
a note about this track

Written by Billy Strayhorn for the Duke Ellington Orchestra where it became their signature song, Take The A Train references the migration to the Harlem district of New York City. In particular, it talks of the Sugar Hill neighbourhood which became a popular place for wealthy African Americans to live during the Harlem Renaissance. In the 1920s and 1930s, its inhabitants included WEB Dubois, Cab Calloway, Adam Clayton Powell Jr and Duke Ellington.
