TRANSCRIPT

Cathy Connor:

Circus Toon is supposed to be very hammy. It's very influenced by Duke Ellington. I love Duke Ellington, and there's lots of bits there that do remind me of some of the Duke Ellington pieces that I've loved. You know - trumpet mutes, wah-wah mutes,  and growling and sliding trombones  and all that kind of stuff...
