@Trombonology
Certainly good, especially the leader's righteous trumpet, but to my way of thinking, every version except TD's, which was of course from composer Sy Oliver's own arrangement, went a little heavy handed on the whole hallelujah, brother-salvation thing. And, too, though Dick Haymes had a magnificent voice, he really couldn't swing.
