A great tune by Duke Ellington, Irving Gordon
and Irving Mills

Some changes I use are:

D7 G7 | C7 F | B7 E7 | A7 Dm7 |
Dm7 G7 | Am7 D7 | Dm7 G7 | C A7 |
D7 G7 | C7 F | B7 E7 | A7 Dm7 |
Dm7 G7 | Am7 D7 | Dm7 G7 | C F#m7b5,B7 |
E C#m7 | F#m7 B7 | G#m7 C#m7 | F#m7 B7 |
E C#m7 | F#m7 B7 | E7 A7 | Dm7,D#m7 Em7,A7 |
D7 G7 | C7 F | B7 E7 | A7 Dm7 |
Dm7 G7 | Am7 D7 | Dm7 G7 | C A7 |

In the areas of decending dominant chords you can approach
them with ii chords or sus chords. Thus the first 4 bars can
be:

Am7,D7 Dm,G7 | Gm7,C7 F | F#m7,B7 Bm7,E7 | Em7,A7 Dm7 |

or

D7sus,D7 G7sus,G7 | C7sus, C7 F | B7sus,B7 E7sus,E7 | A7sus,A7 Dm7 |

enjoy.
