Thanks for the post, Gary!

I thought I knew a lot of Ellington and Strayhorn's music. When did Duke do "Tulip or Turnip"? Could you point me to a recording of it? I'm guessing I'll have to take the changes down by transcribing.

Since The Meaning Of The Blues is a blues, it should be easier than usual to grab its changes by transcription. Could you recommend a definitive recording of it?

I'm usually dependent on finding a fakebook,  piece of sheet music, or web page that show the changes. Once I have chord symbols, I can produce the MIDI files for the changes in 10 minutes.
