    Love it

    I usually go OTT dancing to this. Jazz hands and everything.


    I think the peeps at Verygoodplus would give you 100 or more recomendations, but I can't think of any off the top of my head other than Shirley Bassey's "Light My Fire", which just isn't as rawkus.

    hate posting YT clips from my phone but check out "London in the Rain" by Blossom Dearie ... various versions of "Comin' Home Baby" starting with Mel Torme ...

    The Blossom Dearie was a bit slow, but the Mel Torme doth jam.

    Can't believe it never made it to record.

    I'm digging the Mark Murphy and Johnny Cameron. Doesn't need to have vocals???I've been checking out a bit of KPM in a similar vein like this:

    Another Jazz popper





    and this has that same kind of driving beat (sorry if its an obvious choise)



    and another fave


  • it's more of a 70's tune, but i always thought horace silver "the show has begun" had a similar swinging vibe to that buddy rich tune.
