But what kind of bass is he playing in the video? It looks like it says "Allesandro" or something on the headstock.

And has a KILLER voice himself.

The great thing about Sir Duke is the wonderful, exuberant horn playing - in tribute to the big bands the lyrics mention - and to have that replaced by a cheesy synth patch is too much to bear!!

Bruce - I have to agree a little bit. It loses something in the translation to keyboard, but hearing the Watts and that drummer made up for it! Great playing! |
