Duke Ellington used songs written by his son Mercer and pianist Billy Strayhorn, famous for: "Take the 'A' Train", "Chelsea Bridge" and "Day Dream", and Mercer wrote "Things Ain't What They Used to Be", "Blue Serge" and "Moon Mist".<br /><br />Most likely Mercer Ellington came up with the tune and his father arranged the song for the band. It's most often played as an instrumental.
