Re: Best sounding version of Rock-A-Bye Basie?

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/dre600/e626/e62602jqb34.jpg The version on this album is my favorite.. and since it's the first version I heard, it doesn't sound strange to me that it's a little slower (150ish) than normal, but that might be strange if you've got something zippier stuck in ...
