Here's one of the quintessential New York City songs (suggested by my previous post), written by Billy Strayhorn back around 1940. It would become something a theme song for Duke Ellington's big band, though here we see him performing the tune with a small combo. It looks like this is from the 1960s-- by that time I think it's safe to say Ellington had the song down cold.
