  • wow , this is Epic

  • "I'm just like any other drummer. I stole things from other drummers I could think of. 'Manic Depression' comes to mind. I stole that completely from, of all people, the drummer called Ronnie Stephenson. It came from John Dankworth's 'African Waltz.' It's just what fitted in. I heard this rhythm that Jimi was playing on guitar and I thought, 'Oh yeah, it's that kind of feel.' So thank you Ronny Stephenson."

  • This song was released in 1961 while I was a senior in high school (in Brooklyn, NYC) and it is forever embedded in my musical brain. It took me a long time to find it on the web, and when I did, well enough said. A true musical classic. Would that more such music were being composed and appreciated by society today, but that ain't gonna happen. Sad...

  • #101 pop in the u.s.found this in 1993.this you don't hear much anymore.great forgotten instrumental.

  • @alfriendo2008 Thank you and sorry for late. I found it at the end!

  • @Stoloft I think it might be "Moanin", but i am not 100% sure!

  • i had this record when i was very young, my parents threw it away because it was scratched but i always remembered the melody am now in my 40s and heard it again last year for the first time since .... imagine my elation finding out what the song was!

  • Excuse me, does anybody know what's the name of the song on the other side of the green vinyl at 0:13?

  • I have a Cannonball Adderly recording of this, with a studio big band. Yes, it's a Galt McDermott composition.

  • Is this a Galt Macdermot composition?
