Actually its been a year or so, i've just turned fifteen and its been a long while since i've heard this song in the language arts classroom of Mr. Julio at enterprise so i gotta give you a thanks for responding to my comments cause i still love this song as much as i did a year ago,

[LilEssexGirl]

wow, this is really good. I've recently started to have an interest in swing/jazz music, any other reccomendations? I like the upbeat stuff. Similar to Amy Winehouse.

[Zg146]

First version of this song I've heard was this one and it is the best one......Absolutly great performance !!! Long live the swing!!!!

[mbazell]

I remember a slightly slower version in 1958 at the Gate Of Horn in Chicago. It was Duke and Lena Horne doing a 1 night gig. I wasn't suppose to be in there at age 8 but my parents brought me in to witness history, and I'm glad they did. They didn't check ID's in those days, and they figured I couldn't hold down a martini at that age anyway.

[EamonnRyan8]

this is probably one of the best versions. its fast. its got that great trumpet tone. ahh growln. cotton club. and Cab! i know Cab's great grand nephew. drummer for 4th ave jones.

Wow, what a version, huh? I loved it. I just pity because I'd like to see the footage of this version.

By the way, have you ever heard Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong performing this song? It's nothing but the BEST version.
