Album Notes & Community Reviews
Famous for supposedly being the first recorded instance of scat singing after dropped lyric sheets, this incredibly playful track fundamentally changed jazz vocalization. The energetic polyphony and fiercely rhythmic cornet playing permanently injected individualistic joy into the traditional ensemble format.
