It says the video is no longer available - but under comments it says the song is Rhythm Jam by Gene Krupa.

It's not Rhythm Jam, it's Dinah, followed by Sweet And Hot. Two very nice versions, not sure who they are by.

My first guess on Sweet and Hot is Fletcher Henderson, my second guess is early Duke Ellington. Allmusic has a version by Henderson that sounds right and nothing by Ellington.
I recognize the sax in Dinah, my brain just can't place it right now.

Yeah, sorry about that. Youtube videos get randomly blocked at work . . .

Yeah, that's it! Also look for it on Bill Coleman albums. That's where I recognized the sax from, some of the Coleman recordings on the American's Swinging in Paris series I have in my collection.
It's also available on iTunes from the Charly label.
