Char-Lee has a very nice singing voice & personality. I thought it was going to be the principal light comic's song from the Operetta "the Geisha" music by Sidney Jones "Chin Chin Chinaman" character Wun Hi! Perhaps he could look at it and if he likes it, record it for RU-vid?
Crazy that this song is illegal now. I love it but if I sang it out on the streets round here they'd throw me in jail. Can't enjoy innocent pleasures no more., someones always got to say it's this that or the other, corrupting it.
Phil was one of the best to follow Bird (even married Bird's wife) but there was only one original. This reminds me of similar concert when James Mooody recreated Bird with strings and used the Oakland Symphony. Moody was closer to bird but people forget in the old days classical musicians had to respect Ellington and Bird more. When they were alive.

While no one is June Christy (who made this song so hers in that wonderful 1950's recording arranged and conducted then by Pete Rugolo), Stephanie Nakasian is absolutely superb, just superb as is Pete and this outstanding orchestra. What a thrill this must have been to have heard it in person live, done so very well. Thanks for sharing this with all of us!
