This is A Bad Ass Song For 1937 !

[@elaineshiffer6929]

This is a bad ass song for 2024!

[@EF-69]

There's some interesting things about this track. One is the length. It was very rare to record anything this long. Originally on a 78 rpm platter back then, you could only get about 4 minutes in a side. It was released as a double sided single, something that just wasn't done. It ended up this length because Krupa kept playing. That longer drum part at about half way, expected to be the end but he kept playing and so Benny and company did too. The whole second half basically is ad-lib.

[@genebigs1749]

I never knew that! Gene Krupa was incredible.

[@Iamyolomonkey-ed2gh]

That’s really cool!

[@inkoinfinity2]

Saw my old-man "swing-dance" to this once with Mom at a wedding reception, when i was real young.The old-man flung Mom six-feet in the air, caught her, brought her down, threw her between his legs, then spun her around, and niether missed a beat. My godfather said to me then, "Man! Hank & Rose can still cut a 'MEAN SLICE' 'o rug!" That was 61 years ago.

My wife’s uncle Wilf had this very piece played at his funeral last week, he loved Benny Goodman. The poor vicar obviously didn’t know how long it would last and wasn’t familiar with it. At every point where it went a bit quiet she thought it was finishing she start to rise but she had to sit back down as the tempo kicked back in. Wilf was always the joker and I wonder if his choice was Wilf’s last prank.

[@singtweetypie]

Sounds like it was! What a great memory for the family. I am certain everyone had a chuckle. I am sure the vicar knew this song - just didn't know it was going to be the extended version that was played! Uncle Wilf sounds like he was a cool cat!
