I love this song. We were just listening to it on the bus, on our way back from Thanksgiving in Syracuse.
I like this version too. The tempo is much faster than the original 1959 studio version which has an almost stately opening line.
Great version of one of my favorite jazz pieces of all time! Thanks.
First time I heard it was when our brother Stephen brought the album home during a college vacation, along with Phil Ochs in Concert.
