"East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" by Duke Ellington (1926)
A jurassic jazz side from the greatest composer in the history of 20th-century American music. This one features a famous growling trumpet part from Bubber Miley, and constitutes a quintessential example of the "jungle music" style that thrilled ethnographic white patrons at the Cotton Club in the 20s, but sent squares into a moral panic.
