Shorty Rogers: I’m Gonna Go Fishing
A later edition of Shorty Rogers’ Jazz Giants with Mel Lewis driving the band is featured on this 1962 episode of Frankly Jazz, the local Los Angeles program. I’m Gonna Go Fishing is an Ellington tune, with lyrics by Peggy Lee, that became very popular at the time, because of recorded versions by Gerry Mulligan, Rogers, Mel Torme and Annie Ross.
