Sunday Jazz with the Count

Sep 7, 2025

Let’s get back to some swingin’ jazz — I do love big band music!

Can’t believe this song is almost 90 years old, going back to 1937.  The recording below is from a live show 60 years ago in 1965.

His orchestra used it to close each of their concerts for half a century. It was reportedly titled “Blue Ball” at first but a radio announcer feared that title was too risqué.  Crank it up!!
