"Shiny Stockings" uploaded as a request from the 2002 Proms performance titled " Swing" by Wynton Marsalis and his Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. This marked Marsalis's second of three Proms appearances following his special midnight matinee in 1993 and preceeding his "Out here to Swing" Prom 2004.
Great music and great band but why doesn't the BBC broadcast TV jazz performances from the proms, this year it was a tribute to Stan Kenton, would love to have seen it.

@PINCHUNO Sounds good to me. It's swingin', that's all I need. Also, I've seen the LCJO at least 5 times. When they weren't doing an extended work by Wynton, they always did Basie stuff. They branch out far more than people give them credit for.

This is one of the best jazz orchestras in the world, but the pianist is playing as though he's never heard a Basie record in his life. Also the ryhthm section below Wyntons' solo don't quite do the feel justice. They probably played this stuff so many times years ago that they forgot how to phrase it. Also it's weird hearing the JALO playing stuff that isn't Ellington or Marsalis material.
