I agree. This is the best recording of this song. I assume it's arranged by Sy Oliver. The best thing about this version is the absence of the waah-waahh treatment you hear on most other big band arrangements of this classic. Great band.
Not playing much these days, but my preference is playing & driving a big band. Lately, it's been as much jump blues & rockabilly I can get - which ain't much, these days - with smaller outfits.

I know, I was impressed and was waiting. Not one dropped beat. BTW do you play drums for big band or small band or everything?

You know it, Don. :)
Have to toot my horn a bit here - that transition from side 1 to side 2 really came out great. ;)
