This is my second post so once again forgive me.
My favorite song today is "Don't You Miss Your Baby" from vinyl ,yes remember vinyl ? a record , an lp? It's from " Buck Clayton Jam Sessions from the vault " 1988, a redo of a prevous record " All The Cats Join In , 25 star jazzmen in a Buck Clayton Jam Session" on Columbia records # cl882 recorded in 1956 with such musicians as Buck Clayton ,Billy Butterfield, Ruby Braff ,JC Higgenbottom,Coleman Hawkins ,Julian Dash ,Budy Tate,Kenny Kersey , Sir Charles Thompson ,Steve Jordan, Freddy Green, and Walter Page,Bobby Donaldson, and Jimmy Rushing .
I don't know if this version is available on cd .. It has music written by Eddie Sauter and Alec Wilder for Benny Goodman and a Walt Disney movie " Make Mine Music" 1946 .I haven't heard the Benny Goodman version. I know the Benny Goodman version is avalable but I don't know if this version is available on cd.
Anyway this record is great. It has got that big band sound of tight ,driving rhythm , and a superb vocal by Rushing and backed by some of the best musicians alive at the time,much better than Benny Goodman anyday. Great medium tempo lindy. All the songs on this record are phenomenal .This record in my opinion is one of the best I've heard ,ever.
Once again this is only my second post so please excuse
