The recording posted here was recorded by Ziggy Elman and his orchestra for RCA Victor on December 28, 1938. Less than a week later on January 2, 1939 Benny Goodman's Orchetsra (with vocalist Martha Tilton, and Elman again) recorded it for RCA Victor and THAT version was a big hit. The Elman version is rarer. Has it been issued on CD? The Tilton version is on RCA's CD: The Fabulous Big Band Collection

I'm not actually sure, I have both versions, but this one is off an LP set from, i believe time life or readers digest, since it was from them, im guessing its on cd somewhere if not at least maybe re-issued by them. thanks for listening!

THANK YOU! A lost masterpiece, Ziggy was one of the greatest. It is sad to me that people today listen to music---but they don't hear what is saying. Being a trumpet player I truly appreciate this artistry.

[bingcrosby1903]

Thats great, something to think about, true, music is nothing like it used to be, im a trumpet player myself, actually...

Elman played many instruments proficiently.The swing versions of this song all came from his adaptation of a yiddish composition. I'd put him in the genius category.Go to my channel for his solo with Dorsey,about 1941.His solo with Goodman in 1939 is also swingin'.WillieD.

Love both Benny's (and Martha's)version and Ziggy's version.Pax to all from 73soulboy.Xxx.

In the Benny Goodman Story, It is Ziggy appearing to play his solo, however Mannie Klein is playing the actual solo.

[adoreslaurel]

Viewing the Benny Goodman story when this tune is played at Carnegie Hall,the artist playing it does not look like Ziggy but his name appears in the credits,however,sadly by the time the movie was made he had lost his ability to provide the sound track and the trumpet you hear is that of the great Mannie Klein.
