The tune is Special Delivery Stomp // originally written and recorded by Artie and His Grammercy 5 Sextet in December 1940. The original record featured Artie, Billy Butterfield on (cup-muted) Trumpet, Johnny Guarnieri on Harpsichord. The tune itself was based on an earlier composition called "The Man From Mars" that Artie had written and performed with his big band in 1939. He never made a record of it but there are radio air-checks of it on Hindsight records and RCA/BMG CDs.
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering how it sounded out there. From this angle, I am almost as tall as Sal. And I am glad you caught me playing a decent solo!!!!!
