Heh, why else is it called "A Rosy Glow"?


Or a "Blue glow" from a tube amp playing
Duke Ellington:-)


Tube amps playing Ellington have an "indigo glow".


Or a "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue"

It's one of the greatest Ellington compositions
of all time.

The performance at the Newport Jazz Festival in
1956, with the 27 chorus "interlude" by tenor
saxophonist Paul Gonzalves, put the Ellington
band back on the map when times were hard.
