*The key of the original Ellington recording (and the ripped scats from it) has been changed from Eb to Gmi. We've done this because two fakebooks have this song in Gmi, so probably most musicians when playing it as an instrumental play it in Gm .
(Ella's voice will sound too high as a result of the key change.)
