Things Ain't What They Used to Be" is a 1942 jazz standard with music by Mercer Ellington and lyrics by Ted Persons. In 1941 there was a strike against the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, of which Duke Ellington was a member. Because of the strike he could not air his songs on the radio. Instead, he used songs written by his son Mercer and pianist Billy Strayhorn. Strayhorn's compositions of this time include "Take the 'A' Train", "Chelsea Bridge" and "Day Dream".

Текст песни: I remember back in the days it wasn’t like that Everybody knew everybody, now days it ain’t like that We used to stand on the corners and drink brew Now days you gotta duck when they drive through. I remember back in the days it wasn’t like that Everybody knew everybody, now days it ain’t like that We used to stand on the corners and drink brew Now days you gotta duck when they drive through. I remember back in the days it wasn’t like that Everybody knew everybody, now days it ain’t like that We used to stand on the corners and drink brew Now days you gotta duck when they drive through Cause they blastin', life is like plastic But who would be the next egg took out the easter basket Is it you, me, or her or she or he? Who would live to see the long age of 23?

Rex Stewart's cornet and the alto saxophone of Johnny Hodges were two essential ingredients in the rarefied chemistry of the Duke Ellington orchestra during the 1930s and early '40s. This fine album closes with Stewart's tidy treatment of Ellington's "Subtle Slough," later known as "Just Squeeze M. A sizable selection of earlier recordings by the Ellington Small Groups can be found on various compilations put out by several different labels under the banner of "The Duke's Me. This little package is a good place to start.
