Eumir Deodato - Take the A Train 

Detroit was blessed to have WJZZ back in the day. It is missed.

This is the most brilliant, ingenious remake of this tune. Really outstanding orchestration!!! Millions of thanks to Eumir, God bless you! Take the Train to Heaven!

Deodato's arrangements of old classics are superb. This is one of his finest.

I JUST LOVE THESE GOLDEN MEMORIES I GREW UP WITH THE VERY BEST JAZZ & R&B RADIO STATIONS BACK HOME.

Deodato can make anything his own; prodigious talent. Saw him at Ronnie Scott's in March 2017. Outstanding.

I USE TO HAVE THIS IN MY MUSIC COLLECTION AND I MISS ALL THAT BEAUTIFUL MUSIC & "TAKE THE A TRAIN" & "LOVES ISLAND" WERE MY 2 FAVORITE BUT THE WHOLE ALBUM WAS ALWAYS GREAT MUSIC TO MY EARS

Fantastica Musica que llena de alegria ritmos de angeles gracias gran Maestro

QUIET AS IT'S KEPT (WJZZ) THEY ARE STILL ON JUST A DIFFERENT LOCATION

Nothing compares to Deodato's music.

8track summer of 1977.🙌🙌🙌

I got a WJZZ sticker on my case TODAY! LOL We left WBLS on the east coast and WJZZ save us in the Midwest.

💞💞This is really really nice

I FIRST HEARD IT ON WCHD/WJZZ AND I ALSO USE TO OWN THIS ALBUM TOO

Keren ...!

Let´s go to Harlen. Take the A Train.

Very Earth Wind And Fire-ish!:)

Great ....!

jorge nava mascareño Un "troesma"! ; como diríamos en Argentina.

Somewhere Duke Ellington is smiling and tapping his foot.

...so, we're getting close to two litres of beer, for those who know our metric system.

...took the train 'n got lost....

If, right now, you hear high pitched noise then it might be that of Billy Strayhorn spinning in his grave. Why would one desecrate one of the finest tunes by reducing it to elevator music? There's a fine line between authentic Brazilian smooch like Azymuth creates and Muzak. And in this piece that line is crossed exceedingly. Nice album artwork though.

It's a shame that online stations like WJZZ Smoothjazzchicago were force to shut down due to rate increase from Copyright Royalty Board😂😂😂👎👎!!!

7 dorks on the web touched this amazing music...
