There is an unusually lot of improvising on this arrangement = plus the wonderful passages that Bill Challis (?) arranged by meeting with Big & writing-out his phrasing - or is it possible that Malneck used the same process had he, in fact, written the arrangement???
Bix and Bing together, I'm in heaven!
I love alternate takes. Its like meeting the twin brother you never knew about of a dear friend, who may or may not be an indentical twin
i think this is the best description I've ever heard for alt takes.
Thanks again Atticus Jazz for the rich details on this recording!

paul Whitman loved jazz...respected. the Blackmans music.. and brought it to a wider audience!..
Gives me something I havent found in any other song
What a big difference between the takes...the latter being so polished and zippy.
Mary Nolan looks seriously strung out as, according to Wikipedia, she was. Reminds me of a lot of top models 20 years ago.
When was this recorded :O? It's very nice. Greetings from Denmark

Bix just buries Busse
Busse plays a different role in this arrangement. Bix does the creative stuff.
@@sammckinstry Bix threw Henry under the Busse.
@@malcolmnorton2217 Bix took the Busse and reached his destination on it, is more like it.
I like the music not the video.
What video ?
