Excellent, thanks wolfiejazz. I'm unsure of the significance of the photo of what appears tyo be Striding Edge, Helvellyn. Have we a fellwalkink moulldie fygge here?
@MrJimmienoone agreed, but! is there any remedy to getting addicted to this dancing once one gets addicted to it after more than 60 years musing? - and allow me to add to your list of adjectives the deeply moving melancholic touch that hues the event in a deep feeling of "mozartean" atmosphere of the smile of one who knows as much as anyone else what sorrow is... (if I get it right).
I love jazz of all styles but hearing NO jazz is like coming home! Not usually a favourite tune of mine, but this is marvellous - especially Big Jim. I was lucky enough to hear the Lewis band live in 1959 and still have the programme.
I think the trombonist, Jim Robinson, wrote the tune, and loved people to dance to it. Helluva a band here. Wow. Baby's percussion is excellent, never heard him so pronounced in a band.

If anybody asks you how you would define buoyancy, vigor, vital power, play this tune to him. He will immediately stop musing and start dancing.

This is my number one Desert Island Disc. Lewis and Robinson at their very best and Baby Dodds is sensational. I love the dynamics.

So much energy and interPLAY--this rules

I think you're right, Jim certainly had a hand in writing it.

I am wrong! Seems that Jim Robinson popularised it in a jazz format, but the orginal was by written by Howard E Johnson somewhere about 1915-1917.
