I love this song because I can Hear the Badass “Boom Cha-Ka”, hein Dax?!!
Max is indeed a man of few words - he usually lets his dancing do the talking. This song can be found on the Chronological Classics Boots and His Buddies 1937-1938

Nice track. I don’t have the ‘37-’38 CC for Boots & his Buddies, so I’ll have to pick that up for sure. I do have the ‘35-’37 CC for Boots though, and it’s definitely worth having also.

Notable tracks on the ‘35-’37 include:
-Rose Room
-The Vamp
-Georgia
-The Swing
There are actually more songs recorded by this band that were issued on CD which I have on Vinyl…
the band in the earlier recordings has a much better line up of talent,
but even with the loss of these great players that band continues to pound!
