Well known track on the dance floors of the UK in 1951, Earl Bostic, a former Lionel Hampton sidekick, brought the sound of the honking sax to the ears of post war British youth. The raw recording technique that put the back-beat drums well up in the mix and doused every cut in echo was to re-emerge as the basic board mix for early rock n roll.
Jazz fans might like to know that the great Jimmy Cobb is on drums.
