I shall be 80 in June; I had forgotten that there were so many good bands; people could actually go to a dance or a concert and be inspired by the music of fine musicians. Thank you for posting.
This tune had such a catchy riff that jazz musicians went bonkers when they heard it back in the 50s, especially guitarists. Blues legend Stevie Ray Vaughn even ripped it off.
Played this in concert band way back; my conductor was a big-band trumpeter. Have loved it ever since. Question: When was "HT" written? IAlso, it hurts looking at the piano player. Tough playing piano standing up like that. Wouldn't it have been better to use a bench or a chair?

Nice piano work from Flanagen. I'm pretty sure that's a bass trumpet he's on in the middle of the song. Right?

Yes, you are right, a bass trumpet..

Thanks for the confirmation on that. I didn't know he played one until now.
