@Sigurd82 It is really one tune that modulates from F to Bb. It's Hamp's Boogie, by Lionel Hampton. The band is the Harlem Renaissance Orchestra, and I'm playing the alto solo you hear in the beginning. This was an extroaordinary send off for an extraordinary man.
WOW......I never thought a funeral could be this much fun, and so uplifting. Thanks for sharing this amazing video with those of us around the world. I am in England, and was lucky enough to have a wonderful dance with Frankie when he came over here to teach us all. Thanks xxx
That's disrespectful, someone should have got ol' Frankie up and danced with him ;)

@customkey Great, thanks! Nice playing too. I'm a baritone player, and I got to meet Frankie at Lindyfest in Houston a few years ago.

This is the right funeral for a real dancer.
