SIDENOTES:
From the JazzStandards.com website, with regards to 'Take the A Train':
(http://www.jazzstandards.com/compositions-0/taketheatrain.htm)

"That 1941 recording of “Take the ‘A’ Train” may be considered definitive... The original Feb 15, 1941, Victor 27380 recording can be heard on the 3-CD set, Duke Ellington, Blanton-Webster Band, released in 1990 on RCA 5659."
