I know the Ellington band - Ellington used to keep people like Bubber Miley and other folks who were not readers - basically, ear players - in the band. When you were in the band in the '50s, were there - I guess reading was a prerequisite to being in that band? I guess Sonny must have read, but I don't know. You say there were no charts, so I guess it wasn't necessary.
