DESCRIPTION:
This was recorded in Jan 1971, and has been released in several versions, with dates all over the map. However, according to my memory of having seen the band several times during this tour, and Jack Perciful's itineraries, this was Jan 25, 1971 in Clearwater, Fla.

Nonetheless, the band's interpretation of Freddie Green's classic tune is in the pocket.

The James version, "stolen" by Ernie Wilkins, differs slightly in some early brass figures, and some of the voicings. Jack Perciful plays the intro, Gary Herbig takes a tenor solo, Dave Robbins plays a trombone solo (you can hear Harry say "Awright Robbie"). Then Harry plays a great solo.

How many times Sonny Payne played this tune. But he rocks here!
