"I've Found a New Baby" - Basie, from The Golden Years, Vol. 3 . It's about 315 BPM, it's got a Lester Young solo in the middle, and it's got that barreling rhythm-section. I like the song anyway, and this version is like a fireworks display. I think I know the version you mean. It's pret...

Jimmy Rosenberg and Bireli Lagrene are some good guitarists in the Reinhardt vein.

Rad live music all the time. Awesome music stores. Cajun food. And it's in the South. What more could you want in a city?
