Fantastic! I love the old swing songs that have this vaguely sinister sound to them. As if you just might be on your way to hell -- and you wouldn't want it any other way.
@cliftonmontgomery Only the hotter numbers have that dark raw passion! This is a good example maybe also try Fletcher Henderson the stampede 1926 version.
Thanks for posting!

Lunceford's name should be as well known as Ellington or Basie. Alas, he's just a footnote. But what a simply divine footnote. Oh, I love his work.

Best Lunceford ever! Do you have any songs with solos by Willie Smith?

If I was trying to explain to someone what swing was, I'd use this recording.

Look around for good versions by Ted Lewis and James Kok if you can find them (I think they're both on CD by those respective bands).

Kok's version is the best in my opinion...great band!

I actually like this better that "White Heat" not nearly so frantic. The nighthawks do a terrific version of this.
