The recording here truly deserves to be called a definitive edition. Sing, Sing, Sing used to be performed by Yosuke Yamashita's Panja Swing Orchestra, even incorporating Japanese taiko drums, but the joy of it lies in the way your brain gets fried by endlessly repeating the same thing. This is swing, isn't it? There's a strange commercial where a rakugo storyteller, who rarely performs rakugo, groans "Swing, swing," but it's surprisingly not annoying and feels enjoyable, perhaps due to this effect. Looking at the lineup, it's quite impressive, with the likes of Basie, Lionel Hampton, and Charlie Christian subtly included.
