I'm pretty sure I heard this song during ULHS last year; the melody was stuck in my head for a few months afterwards. I was happy to come across a full version of the song, but since there are no lyrics that I know of I couldn't search for the title. So, if one of you guys can provide it the name of the song in this video would be very appreciated!

It's Limehouse Blues - an early 1920's song that became a jazz standard. There are many great versions of it (notably by Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet and Django Reinhardt), most of them a bit faster than this.

Glenn Miller has a good uptempo version on a live broadcast. I can't find it online, though.
Will big bands ever come back?
