This song was first published in 1942 and has been recorded by many female artists including Ella Fitzgerald and Ella Mae Morse. This version was a one-off for the 2012 Jools Holland BBC New Year Show. I love the clip-clop of the blues arrangement and the use of brass and voice to push the swing element right out there. I usually spoil it by singing along...
