Lush Life
Asides
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.

Well that was scary! My RSS feeder started playing music…ha
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.
Ty for this one :p
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……..
