    As noted by Bassman, this is a Duke Ellington composition unrelated to the song with the same title by Charlie Parker. It was recorded at Merchandise Mart, 222 West North Bank Street - Suite 1143, Chicago. Working titles included Kalina and Kalino. This orchestra is notable for the presence of newcomers Blanton and Webster. The personnel were:
    Wallace Jones, Cootie Williams - trumpets
    Rex Stewart - cornet
    Juan Tizol - valve trombone - first solo
    Joe Nanton, Lawrence Brown - trombones - the former has the second solo
    Barney Bigard
    Johnny Hodges
    Otto Hardwick - alto sax
    Ben Webster - tenor sax
    Harry Carney
    Ellington - piano - solo
    Jimmie Blanton - bass - solo
    Fred Guy - guitar
    Sonny Greer - drums.

    This piece was recorded on March 6, 1940, and it is not a bebop tune either. Charlie Parker recorded a piece of the same title which has nothing to do with Ellington's Ko-Ko. The Ellington tune is a minor blues composition, while Parker's tune is based on the chords of Cherokee. Just for the record.

    1945年のハイソな音質、編曲には恐れ入る。

    This is so motherfucking scary:
    These sounds…..
    They belong on an LSD trip for someone who’s used to tweaking crystal.
    Voices.
    This is one of the hardcore pieces I played (sax) at a jazz camp:
    Apparently (in performance) there were rhythmic mishaps , that, as first or second chair, I was in charge of: and messing up.
    I see what this what effect this could have actually.
