Moody blues song influnced by duke ellington?

Although Mike Pinder cites the jazz genre as a formative influence, there are no songs per se influenced specifically by a Duke Ellington song.However, Pinder was influenced by one of his songs when it came to naming the band. Originally calling themselves the R&B Preachers, they then tried to get sponsorship from a Birmingham brewery, Mitchell & Butler's, offering to call themselves the M&B 5. However, when the money was not forthcoming, they decided to keep the initials. It was Pinder who came up with Moody Blues: Blues based on the stle they were playing at the time and Moody after his favourite Ellington track, Mood Indigo.

What is the name of the jazz song and artist playing while Cliff and Claire ate strawberry shortcake during her 50th birthday celebration of season 3 episode 20 of The Cosby Show?

This one is difficult, because there's still some people out there who refuse to believe that the song playing in Birthday Blues is "In a Sentimental Mood" by John Coltrane and Duke Ellington. No matter what you hear: that's the one. The Cosby version has been slightly modified to fit the ending of the episode, but it is the same song. A classic of jazz. The reason people refuse to believe it is because that song is NOT "In a Sentimental Mood." If the song you're talking about is in the episode where Cliff is feeding Claire cake and keeps running back and forth to the kitchen, then yes it IS "In a Sentimental Mood". It is NOT "In a Sentimental Mood"; it is called "Look at This" by Grover Washington, Jr. It seems to be available on Itunes only on a Cosby Show-themed album with a voiceover by Bill Cosby.
