Great recording, although I think the original piano solo version beats it out by a mile. Still, this is a great band side.
Seger Ellis' original piano solo rendition is marvelous, it's one of the funkiest things I've ever heard from the era and it might be his best piano solo record (although I haven't yet heard all of them).
Thanks for posting this! Great ending, rather wild and exciting with the build-ups!
This might have been at the time Bix was in NYC. I wondered why Bix wouldn't have been in this one either.

This is a great song. However, the cornet doesn't sound like Bix. Anyone know who it is? Andy Secrest?

According to Brian Rust the trumpet players at this session were Andy Secrest and Charlie Margulies.
The tune itself is originally a solo piano number by Seger Ellis.
