Take The A Train

The Fondue Set and Caitlin Smith perform “Take the A Train” at the Gables, Auckland, New Zealand. “Take the A Train” is a jazz standard by Billy Strayhorn, referring to the A subway service that runs through New York City, going at that time from eastern Brooklyn up into Harlem and northern Manhattan, using the express tracks in Manhattan. It became the signature tune of Duke Ellington and often opened the shows of Ella Fitzgerald. [youtube LbGMyBiNLmM]
