What better way to celebrate 50,000 downloads of WordPress 1.5 than with a delicious recording of John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman performing Lush Life. Lush Life was, of course, written by Billy Strayhorn. ¶

Hey, Matt. Thanks for the mp3! It’s one I’ve never heard. Also thanks again for the work you have put into WordPress. It has changed my life in a positive direction.

Long time listener, first time caller.
IMHO, the Johnny Hartman/Coltrane recording is the definitive recording of that song. Dude had a voice of honey. And read David Hajdu’s Billy Strayhorn tome “Lush Life,” if you haven’t already.

Wow – I was looking for clips to send to someone who is an American but who has NEVER EVER heard Lush Life by anyone.
(Okay, so he is shocked that I have never seen It’s a Wonderful Life.)
God love you for posting this. It is the definitive song of all time.
sigh……..
