MOOD INDIGO

            This entry contains piano recordings I made in March 2026 (in tandem with bassist Dmitri Kolesnik) of a half-dozen bluesy ballads composed by Duke Ellington. For more about the decision to do this, see my cover letter. For more about Duke and his career, see my liner notes to last month’s piano entry (February 2026).

            The six tunes (and their dates of publication), in the order recorded, are:

1.     I Got It Bad (and that ain’t good) (1941)

2.     Mood Indigo (1931)

3.     I Didn’t Know About You (1942)

4.     Come Sunday (1946)

5.     Solitude (1934)

6.     In a Sentimental Mood (1935)
