With the Double Six of Paris, right? Anyway, I think it establishes Lush Life as one of the great musical ideas of the 20th century. Too bad Ellington never pulled so much depth from the tune. He was certainly capable of doing so.
Follow Ups:
with Joe Pass. Johnny Hartman didn't do too badly with it either

but not the Johnny Hartman. Lush Life is a great tune.
Got the absolute right mix of drinking-the-teardrops-away and ' what, me worry ? ' ... that Strayhorn's song needs.Love the Ella, the Johnny Hartman, too.
This is one of the all-time great postmodern jazz ballads.

If you get the DVD of the film "Living Out Loud" (also staring Holly Hunter and Danny Devito) check out the deleted scene of QL singing "Lush Life". She does a nice job with the song.
