Easy - the 1941 Goodman version with solos from Benny, Charlie Christian and Cootie, but otherwise it's the Fletcher arrangement. The Basie and Coleman/Django one's are also great. I also dig the 1944 Cootie Williams version, the live Goodman sextet version in Db, and the later Goodman sextet versio...

Favorite Version of "Bugle Call Rag"?
While the live Goodman version from "On the Air 1937-1938" used to be my favorite until I heard the Metronome All Stars version. That version is sooooo tight. Especially the trumpet hits on the out chorus - so clean and tight and driving. I also really love the JATP 1944 version, but its r...
