Longest Version of Sing Sing Sing?

#1 Post by mr. e » Sat May 17, 2008 8:28 am

What is the longest version you have of "Sing, Sing, Sing"?

I have
12 min: Sing, Sing, Sing -- Benny Goodman -- Live At Carnegie Hall 1938
10 min: Sing, Sing, Sing -- Big Time Operator -- High Altitude Swing
10 min: Sing, Sing, Sing -- Lee Press-On And The Nails -- Jump Swing From Hell

Any other super long recordings? Any other essential versions?
(Apart from Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Louis Prima, etc.)

Any suprise versions? Such as:
Sing, Sing, Sing -- Jon Hendricks -- Freddie Freeloader (Vocalese)
Sing, Sing, Sing -- New York Voices -- Sing! Sing! Sing (Even 'Vocalesier')
Sing, Sing, Sing -- Los Straitjackets -- Damas Y Caballeros (Latin-Rockabilly)
Sing, Sing, Sing -- Incredible Bongo Band -- Ultimate Breaks And Beats Vol. 8 (Slow, Hip-Hopish)
Sing, Sing, Sing -- G-Swing Feat. Ania Chow -- G-Swing (Nu-Jazz, House, 'Club Version')
Sing, Sing, Sing (RSL Remix) -- Anita O'Day (RSL Remix) -- Verve Remixed // 3 (Nu-Jazz, 'Club Version')
Sing, Sing, Sing -- Jazbeat -- Jazbeat (Yeat another Nu-Jazz version)

I mean, you probably won't play these at a true swing event. People know the orchestra versions and they're so powerful, anything else will feel inferior. But especially if you have to transition to some other music style such a version can be great. Or if you are actually expected to DJ e.g. house music, and the energy is low, but you see a couple that you know from dancing events, and you'd like them to heat up the crowd ...

The only one I've played in years is the Fletcher Henderson version, which is probably around two and a half minutes. ;)

Roy Eldridge has a decent one on Little Jazz and the Jimmy Ryan All-Stars. About 3:30.
