Another Tuesday night in Paradise! Was ever a song's title so apt? Watch James Lake and Deirdre Towers dip and glide to the music -- Vince's reimagining of the Leo Reisman recording of this ordinarily fast tune, with the original growling solo by Bubber Miley. The Nighthawks on this, their second Tuesday-night appearance at Sofia's (211 West 46th Street) were Alex Norris, Mike Ponella, Dan Block, Will Anderson, Andy Farber, Jim Fryer, Andy Stein, Peter Yarin, Ken Salvo, Vince, and Arnie Kinsella. Recorded by Michael Steinman: see and hear more at http://www.jazzlives.wordpress.com.

@ As Vince explained he's using the Reisman arrangement. This was the original tempo of that particular recording.

Vince's band is brilliant as always but why are they playing this so slow?
