Mike Reed plays Duke Ellingtons Satin Doll on the 1974 Hammond Grandee Organ

Didn t know what to play this afternoon, so my muse started humming Satin Doll, so, as usual, I follow the lead. A super jazz standard written by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Johnny Mercer, from 1953, and its chord progressions are well known for the unusual use of harmony. I was told by many great organists that this is the organ players national anthem. I agree, and I recorded this tune on my first record album Make it with Mike, on Carellen Records, in 1966, when I was 19 years old. With great music from the Duke, right here, Saturday, June 25, 2022, where Life is Good with a hot 88 degrees and plenteous Sunshine. Thanks for listening. Swing it, baby.
