I’ve played alto on this great Nestico arrangement dozens of times and I never tire of these classic Basie riffs and hits and the overwhelming “feel good” pocket of this tune! Sammy and the Count were geniuses! Very well played - and you’re obviously having fun!
I was about 35 years old with white hair and half blind because of an unusual affliction. Now I am 85, and can run rings around anyone half my age. This world is really funny, and NOT in a humorous way!!! John M. Hill, conductor, Melbourne Municipal Band.
I need refreshment of the memory kind ! When was this video taken? I had the illness quite a while ago? John M. Hill , a Canadian who was leader of the Melbourne (Florida) Municipal Big Band !!!! JMH
