As bad-assed as those two played together, just take a second to listen to how TIGHT the drummer and bass player are together. Not to take away anything from the JB or SW.
@JohnnyVisionquest . Yeah, I had that GP issue with this soundpage too, mid '80s. Don't think my jaw's every completely got back up off the floor since.

Jimmy is Absolutely Incredible: for a 40's tune, way ahead of its time...jazz at its best.
I have a old stratosphere guitar if anyone is interested.
