Putting on the Ritz
where to go to why don't you go
where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day
coat pants with stripes and cutaway
coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellerswalk
with sticks or um-ber-ellasin their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz"

Jo Jones para Emiliano
In this 1957 Nat King Cole TV show Nat presents Jazz at the Philharmonic. The introductions are done by Norman Granz, the JATP promotor since 1944. In this tune the Oscar Peterson trio sets the pace for Ellington's C-Jam Blues with Roy Eldridge on trumpet, Illinois Jacquet and Flip Phillips on tenors and the magic drums of Jo Jones with one of his classic drumsolos.
