This was an amazing recording. I wouldn't think that I would be able to find a recording so close to my sheet music, but this was almost bang on, thanks deathray393

[deathray393]

Glad I could help you. I would like to find some sheet music that sounds like this recording, where did you get it?

This is the Billy May arrangement from "The Swing Era" compilation from Time-Life music which was recorded according to sources during the 1970s

@TheScarab1975 This is not Billy May's arrangement, this is actually Glen Gray's band.

I noticed some differences between this and the version **I** am familiar with.

[deathray393]

Is the original recording by Tommy Dorsey's band the one you are familiar with?

Fade In: Times square, 1944. Suited men with hats smoke cigars, a newsboy lifts the evening edition shouting about the liberation of warsaw, a shoe shiner looks for customers, old sirens whizz by, horns, shouts, smoke, neon lights

My apologies. It is Glen Gray's take. Here is a little tidbit: I listened to this version and the one Glen Gray released on his "Sounds of the Great Bands" LPs and they are exactly the same except the "Time-Life" version has a string section and the "Great Bands" version does not.
