Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Brunswick 7627 (1936) & 7989 (1937)

Next up we have a couple of Ellington sides on Brunswick.

I first heard I've Got To Be A Rug Cutter on the very first Chuck Cecil's The Swingin' Years radio show I had listened to some 15-20 years ago. Although I moved away from being able to hear it on local radio...I can still catch the show online on Saturday & Sunday mornings here.
