"Blue Daniel" by Frank Rosolino

[barry grrr-ero]

Anyone know of a tuba, cimbasso, bass trombone, serpent, etc. recording of "Blue Daniel"? It's a great little jazz waltz with a theme that reminds me a bit of The Odd Couple. I'm going to begin playing it, but my improv chops suck. Here are links to two different 'classic' renditions.

Hmmm... not a bass/contrabass instrument version, but if you want a valve-instrument-oriented version, I like the Rob McConnell arrangement (which he plays on valve trombone)--

Jim Self plays this with John Chiodini in his new album, "Floating in Winter"

Great jazz album for tuba and guitar, please check it out!! (Saying this on behalf of Jim)

Thanks gentlemen. I will definitely check them both out. I'll probably buy the Jim Self disc - it's bound to be great - and it's a great tune!
