YT Notes
Jay Wilbur and his Band play "Happy Feet", featuring hot solos by Max Goldberg (trumpet) and Laurie Payne (baritone sax). I have included both issued takes, one on Imperial and one on Victory. The Victory take is more or less the same as the Imperial, with the instrumental first chorus being left out in favour of heading straight into Les Allen's vocal.
