An amazing man, I wonder what he made of Mickey Rooney if he ever met him.

If you haven't heard his How High The Moon, check it out.

I was fortunate enough to see Slim perform live once, around 1986 in London. It was a great show, and he hung around afterwards to chat. What an amusing and talented man.

Oh, how cool to rediscover both Slim and the Sanborn show!

'Laguna Oroonee' makes me so happy. Dunno why -

[ReconEmbalmer]

I'm new to swing dancing and this is already one of my favorite to "cut a rug" to!

After my posting from 11 months ago, this your comment? How kind a soul you must be. Yes, I am Slim's daughter but you seem to be more interested in my ex-husband and our history. Think and believe what you like. I don't recall your presence. Maybe someone will write something about you on Wikipedia someday.I doubt it but maybe you should learn to spell it.God bless.

@jgjg5 I am so sorry for that jerk who said what he did. I have blocked and removed his comments. Slim was one of the greatest most talented jazz players I have ever had the pleasure of listening to (or watching). He truly was a genius. I love him to bits.

I can't give this enough thumbs up.

[badmuddy]

thank you. along with "flat foot floogie...," 1 of my dad's favorite songs of all time. he LOVED slim & slam...

[GarnetNW]

I once saw and met Slim in Cardiff. He played the basement of the Kings......from memory. I won a Satchmo album in the raffel and got him to sign it. It was nicked a year or so later but the memories of that night linger.

[JillGat1]

This is the earliest song I ever remember hearing. My dad had this record... was a big fan!

[jzzlvrmee]

@jgjg5 love your dads music. All of it. He was in Copenhagen but during a time where I was more into disco as a youngsters. Today I am avid fan of his music. God bless you and your dad.
