What I mean is CHINA BOY, recorded on February 25, 2011, at the San Diego Jazz Party (held in the Del Mar Hilton) — performed by John Cocuzzi, vibraphone; Antti Sarpila, soprano sax; Eddie Erickson, guitar; John Sheridan, piano; Nicki Parrott, bass; Ed Metz, Jr., drums.
And here it is — at a splendidly fast tempo and in glorious black and white!
Who said, “Swing won’t stay and it’s dying out?” I can prove I’m in the groove and they don’t know what they’re talking about!

I have never heard China Boy played like this,,,Love the version, the musicians, and the tune! Thak you NM
Whew!!! Love the smiles of ” we made it!” at the end- this was obviously counted off by someone with the heartbeat of a butterfly. Once, after a festival where the HIgh Sierra JB played, K.O. Eckland remarked that after Bruce (Huddleston) played, the pianos were nothing but smoke and ash.. I think the same applies here…. what fun!
Wham!
