[bzackbear]

Especially loved the drumming near the end. Great stuff!!

Even though this was Lionel tune, this is my favorite version.

I love this slightly slower than normal version by Ted Heath. What album is it from?

[smoothlindyblueser]

@BigPinkJohn Those Were the Days/Big Band Themes Remembered, Vol. 2 is one album you can find this version on.

I've been listening to Big Band Music since the womb. My dad said of Ted Heath that he did the american music better than the Americans....

[Mullah24]

I preferred Johnny Dankworth's band in England at that time.

[eldorado62]

Ted Heath was arguably the best band in Britain at the time.

I thought this was Lionel Hampton's signature tune - Charlie Barnet's was Skyliner.

The Heath band were the best.

[Grandad35]

I think you are right it was Lionel Hamton's signature tune.

[dieselpuppy74]

@Grandad35 and cakeyspig: Absolutely correct, the both of you !

Outstanding! You can tell this band is really solid and together. Ted Heath had one of the greatest bands of all-time bar none.
