Certainly one of the few hardest charts in the book. And a great band that did not get recorded the way it deserved to. And this was right during the period when I was actually getting out to see Buddy live once in awhile. The band was on fire.
Mike was my older cousin on my father’s side. I remember as a kid watching him practice in the basement of my aunts house. He would open a closet, put the trumpet on a coat and start playing. He did this to muffle the sound as to not disturb the entire house. At that point he was already playing professionally. I remember watching him on the Johnny Carson show when buddy Rich was a guest
Nice. Every now and then, Buddy would really crank up the tempo to see what kind of chops his employees had. I'd never heard this tune at this tempo, however.
That was a fun night!!

Mice McGovern is on fire here! RIP Mike, great player, great guy! Miss you!
