- Big hit from the 1930's. The uke was made by Michigan luthier Dave Talsma. I also play the Taylor GS Mini guitar on this number. The under-the-saddle pickup is the MI-SI Acoustic Trio Ukulele model.

Thanks for listening and viewing Terry!
Gerald Ross :) I have an awesome swing band here in Seattle. sent your link to my guitar player...
Very nice perfermance!
sensacional
Awesome uke and wonderfull, beautifully played arrangement. I was also thinking about arranging this but I think I will quit ... I can't match this version.
Looks like you could end up in jail, guilty of having too much fun. This is excellent! Liked and added to Favorites!
Thanks all!
Sweet
Brilliant, great playing Gerald. As Neil Young says in one of his songs "I would give a thousand pelts..." to play this good.
Thanks Colin25250!
Hi Gerald,
I have been admiring your playing technique for quite some time now. So effortless which is how all great musicians make music look. Do you have any plans to publish any of your arrangements so that we mere mortals could attempt to emulate you (perhaps too grandiose a thought) Just great relaxing music. Thanks again. Ben
Hi Benjamin, Thanks for the good words. Sorry, but I have no immediate plans to publish my arrangements. I do however teach various aspects of Swing Uke and my style at Ukulele festivals around the world. Check out my performance schedule on my website. www.geraldross.com Thanks.
swing on man !!!
Fantastic arrangements and well played. So how do I learn to play like this?
Listen to a lot of music. Not just Uke. Try to get the sounds you hear on your instrument.
Flame maple is always, always sexy. hahaha
You have a great touch on the instrument! Are you available August 26th 2018?
does he have an instructional video on this song? or somewhere I could get tabs
M'mm this is tasty. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ray.
Does anybody know if i can get the tabs anywhere? Or of any other Uke Jazz arrangement? I need it for a music lesson performance
Man, dat Motor City white boy sure can play dat uke!! :-)
Yeah, not bad I suppose. I mean, you know, if you insist on playing the best 'A' train ukulele version I've ever heard. Go ahead if you really must. Me, I've just about mastered the fourth line of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on my new ukulele but let me tell you my playing on those first three lines is sublime!
Great response, Crystal……really started my day with a laugh……thanks👍
Thank you
Duke Ellington is probably my favorite composer and this really is an amazing performance. Is there sheet music for this or did you compose it?
Thanks for the good words. Its my arrangement.
@@gbross That's really impressive!
Yow!
Sweet and swinging. Sorry to be a stickler, but you should give Billy Strayhorn credit.
What is the price for the ukulele and how can I order it?
Nane Aluli . . . The Luthier, Dave Talsma is here: davetalsma.com/inquiries/
That's Tim, sorry... Spell check
Ditto Jim Hickey
Beautiful rendition. But you seem to be having too much fun doing it.
Amazing!
+Tom Yates Thanks Tom!
