Written by Duke Ellington and Bubber Miley in 1927 and originally played on a trumpet.
Steely Dan made a great recording of this song for their Pretzel Logic album in 1974 where the muted trumpet part was simulated on guitar with a wah wah.
This is based on the Steely Dan version.
My son Andrew made the backing track which is available to purchase here http://www.philmcgarrick.co.uk/CD.html

He has also made the Score and Guitar Tabs (including the piano solo ) and is available as a free PDF download here http://www.philmcgarrick.co.uk/scores.html

Hope you like our version of East St Louis Toodle Oo.

Cheers Phil

A real tour de force Phil - I enjoyed it very much.

Thank you very much Ecca & Roger, something a bit different from my usual stuff

Hi Robbie and Paul - nice to hear from you.
Many thanks for your nice comments.
Cheers Phil

Hi Phil and Andy
Well that was certainly different but I thought it was excellent and I enjoyed listening

Regards Lynn

That was great Phil As you say, something different but great too.
Lovely guitar. I had a Gibson 325 that colour in a past life. Regretted having to get rid but it had a buzz I could'nt find and lost interest in it so it had to go.
Is that 9's you've got on it? Looks like it with the ease of bending you were doing.

Thank you Lynn & Hugh for your nice comments.
I know this type of music doesn't appeal to everyone but being a big Steely Dan fan had to have
a go at it especially as Andrew was keen to do the piano parts.

Hugh - I used elixir 10's I think they are as light as you can go and still sound OK and are easy to bend.
I understand about selling a guitar and then regretting it afterwards... we all do it.

Cheers Phil
