Excellent jazzy version of this classic swing tune. Sounds like it might have been recorded live. This was recorded from an old 16" radio trranscription disc produced for the 1949 March of Dimes fund raising program. I think this was recorded especially for this program and probably isn't available anywhere else, unless someone included this in an anthology or something. Enjoy!

  • Do you play a 1949 33 1/3 with a 78 needle?

  • Yes. These old transcriptons were made with the same monaural groove structure as the 78s, just a different speed. Microgroove records were just in their infancy and stereo was still a long way off.

  • Thanks to the person who not "destroyed" the transcription after the "campaign"! And I thank "cdbpdx" for presenting here.

  • "Start outside!" LOL! Very cool record.
