Summary

[edit]

A 29-second sample of Duke Ellington and His Orchestra's Jazz Age song "The Mooche" with iconic scat singing by vocalist Gertrude "Baby" Cox, recorded October 1, 1928, in New York City. Cox was a vaudeville singer and burlesque performer who often sang the blues. In this song—considered to be one of Ellington's greatest jazz pieces—Cox cemented her place in jazz history with a unique performance that is markedly distinct from the scat-singing employed by vocalist Adelaide Hall in Ellington's other recordings.

Fair use rationale for The Mooche

[edit]

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

  1. It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken.
  2. It is a sample of about 29 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the full song.
  3. It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
  4. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
  5. It will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
