Harlem Speaks (1935) is a jazz song by Duke Ellington, made in response to the film Africa Speaks (1930).[1] Ellington recorded the song at Decca Studios in London, England.[1] Gunther Schuller said that the London recording was his best recording, "a typical array of “hot” solos (the way Spike Hughes liked them), ending with an all-stops-pulled-out ensemble chorus, replete with riffing brass, torrid Nanton growls, and surging Bigard obbligatos."[2] It was also recorded by Charlie Barnet in 1941.[3]
