But you'd rather hear good music than listen to me go on, so here goes. It's a version of "Come Sunday" from Duke Ellington's Black, Brown, and Beige suite, with Ray Nance (violin) sitting in for Mahelia Jackson (vox).
Well, it's in fact lagniappe available on later editions of that album, but nevertheless.
Duke Ellington ft. Ray Nance, "Come Sunday"Love those lazy, nearly late pings on the ride cymbal (I think) at 3:20, and the clarinet–horns cluster burst at around 3:35.
While searching for an MP3/non-M4A or whatever version of this song, I discovered albums like A Starbucks Collection of Unforgettable Piano Jazz, Dinner Party (Cooking in Concert), and Songs That Got Us Through WWII, the producers of which will find themselves in the same anteroom to hell with the developer who put a tanning salon on the ground floor of the Ellington Lofts, square center on Black Broadway.

Those Starbucks compilations annoy me. I don't need Giant Coffee Place telling the world what good music is. They have enough power already.
