So while you get Duke Ellington's great "Take the 'A' Train," it is hardly the definitive version, or even the original, and the same goes for Count Basie's "Jumping at the Woodside" and "Lester Leaps In," both of which are included here. ~ Steve Leggett   Technical Info Release Date : 01/27/2004 Original Release Date : 2004 Catalog ID : 4795 Label : Madacy Distribution Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00056775479527    Related Videos In Search of Solid Ground...
