Today’s train song of the day is the very stylish Take the A Train, featuring Duke Ellington’s group from the film Reveille with Beverly, 1943.
Here’s Dave Brubeck’s version from 1966, and it’s a whole different trip.

Two beautiful, remarkably different versions. The Brubeck version is perfect for reading and taking coffee. In fact, that was exactly what I was doing while listening to that version. It makes me want to open a cafe right away.
I really like them both too, Zeus.
The Dave Brubek song always rockets me back to Sunday mornings, listening to CBC.
