Hey Hey! Ellington's tune has been recorded in 1933 but was composed 20 years later, a true scoop indeed!

Some more infos to put things on the rails...

"Guided by the Duke Ellington track of the same name, this five-minute documentary ("Daybreak Express") takes us from one end of a New York subway route to the other, providing the audience with a view of the mid-20th century metropolis. Ellington composed and recorded his track in 1933; Pennebaker, when deciding to make his film in 1953, rifled through his collection of jazz 78"s looking for inspiration, and came up with this. 20 years after the original recording, the music sounds as groundbreaking and dramatic as the film looks."

More informations on Pennebaker efforts are to be found at : http://www.sensesofcinema.com/contents/ ... press.html

There are several other trains in Duke's music including the "A" one

That's 2008 now and all is available so you'll find Pennebaker video here:

When the tune turns to Tiger rag chords (after approx 2 minutes) there is a wonderfull riff played by the sax section!

(Just couldn't set the youtube video watch window here ...)

Hee , Shawn.

I have a transription with tab.
I only can take a picture of it, but it's Hi-Res so you can read the notes and tabs.
Maybey you can set it to a Guitarpro format.
I only can't post them now because I'm busy, maybey tomorrow.

DjangoDjango,

I already have a transcription I did of the intro, but if you have one of the Solo I would love to see it when you get a chance. Thanks!
