Wow, Chet's version is ultra fast. shocked There is a shortage of Band-in-a-Box jazz bebop Styles that will handle that tempo. 280bpm by my reckoning.

I would be interested to hear what style other members of this forum use for such tempos.

BTW, Page 210 in 'The Real Dixieland Book'. smile But we Traddies tend to play it a slightly slower:

A nice tune that we all know in our head from TV, although it really dates back to 1920. I might pick up on that one and try it at next band practice. But definitely not at Chet's pace, much as I love his playing.
