[suparmojo]

I was told to comment on this by my beautiful ex which I want to get back together with

[MrJimmienoone]

I'm pretty sure that BG used these opening bars for another sextet piece, too, but I don't remember which. Lullaby of the Leaves?

Anyway, this here is an absolute masterpiece.

Bioshock 2!! \o/

[finemellow]

This recording, both sides, is a masterpiece.

[catman916]

This is a much more intimate version than the better known full orchestra one. It's the first time that I have heard it.

[oneoneword]

Wow very catchy, can see why the makers of Bioshock chose a song as slick this, cheers to finding this golden oldy and I can't believe the richness of it on a vinyl, thank you!!!!!

[Mr72seventytwo]

[fromthesidelines]

This WAS recorded at two different sessions, on different days: part 1 on December 21, 1937- part 2 on December 29th (with Ziggy Elman sitting in on trumpet).

[swansong6666]

wow, yeah, this is a lovely version. a little more proper than the carnegie version, but stands on its own...

[dkmckinney1]

Great music.

Thanks for posting.

My first exposure to this tune was in the late 1950's when, believe it or not, Louis Prima and Keely Smith did a recording of this tune.

I thought that the Andrews Sisters' rendition was the biggest hit, however, I think that this instrumental by Benny Goodman Sextet is the consumate version.

I have added this tune to my repertoire.

Great simply great. as a yiddish song. as

a jazz version, as swing. All in one.
