File:Duke Ellington Baby Cox The Mooche 1928 Sample.ogg

Summary
A 29-second sample of Duke Ellington and His Orchestra's Jazz Age song "The Mooche" with iconic scat singing by vocalist Gertrude "Baby" Cox, recorded October 1, 1928, in New York City. Cox was a vaudeville singer and burlesque performer who often sang the blues. In this song—considered to be one of Ellington's greatest jazz pieces—Cox cemented her place in jazz history with a unique performance that is markedly distinct from the scat-singing employed by vocalist Adelaide Hall in Ellington's other recordings.
