I first heard this recording as a schoolboy in the mid 1950's & it blew me away. It was the used as the signature tune on a late night jazz programme broadcast from AFN Kassel I think the show was called "cool Kassel" ( any other old timer out there remember it ) Got the record 78, ep, & cd subsequently of course - Thanks for posting 60otaku san

With all the agitation going on today, Johnny gives a nice breather from it all. 60otaku3, thanks for uploading this. 私はこの曲を提示したことを感謝しています。それは美しく、長持­ちです。

どれをとっても完璧な音色をしてますね。心地良いと言ったら良い­のでしょうか。

サックス奏者で最近よく聴いてるのがデイブ・コーズなのですが、­音の音色は楽器が口の近くにあるものほど個性ってのが随所に表れ­ますよね。素晴らしい＾＾

Naotoshiさん、コメントをありがとうございます。

ジョニースミスは時折低い音から高い音へと駆け上がるようにして­弾く特徴がありますが、それが出るとえも言われぬ心地良さを感じ­ますね。

デイブコーズですか？・・・最近のミュージシャンについては不勉­強なので全く知りません。

機会があれば聴いてみようかと思います。

if it's of interest to anyone this was a particular favorite of the young eddie cochran and he played it over and over.

One of the funniest stories I've ever heard concerned Les Paul. He was in his garage at his house in New jersey,working on one of his many projects, when the intercom buzzed. It was his son telling him that "Some guy named Django Reinhart is here to see you." Les was slightly irritated by this interruption and snapped, "Right! Send Jesus Christ in with him." 30 seconds later, he was face to face with Django and Johnny Smith...
