Your reviewer, Aly Comingore, states in Steve Tyrell and the Hollywood Jazz Orchestra: "Standards like Louis Amstrong's 'Ain't Misbehavin,' Sinatra's 'It Had To Be You,' and Ellington's 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore.'" This is two out of three wrong. Ellington did write the latter while the ownership of the first two songs belong to Thomas "Fats" Waller and Gus Kahn/Isham Jones, respectively. Singing a song doesn't mean you wrote it. —Ian Bernard
