Definitely among my favorite cuts by Smack's outfit - drummer Walter Johnson does his best to stir things up here, but that sax section as a whole is the real hurricane that shoots the band into orbit here and blows the doors off of anything in the way. Love every second of this one!
Now THIS is what I mean when I talk of authentic hardcore swing.
Of note: This was producer John Hammond's first session, December, 1932.
Thank you so much for this song! I'm in college and am taking a jazz history class this semester. It's so helpful to not have to buy the songs to listen to them!
The "Bean" is smokin on this.

It was performances like this that Benny Goodman could only dream of duplicating.
A true if less than appreciated legend.
