Cool, indeed! Although it sounded a bit rushed at the very beginning (perhaps the TV-types told them to hurry it up?) it was still a nice variation on the album track.
Joe Morello could do so much with such a small drum kit, compared to what so many drummers use these days... and sound so much better, too!
I bought Time Out on CD, 10-odd years ago... then the SACD version when it first came out, a couple of years later; and still play it regularly. Not a bad track on it.

That's probably one of the best jazz tracks ever. That entire album is awesome. One of the best albums I've ever gotten to be sure.
I had that song as a ringtone on my cell phone a while back...maybe time for a comeback. Thanks for posting that.

One of my favorite jazz numbers, very cool video thanks for posting it.
I remember seeing this guitar version a while back and being like WTF? Looks like he hooked a baby Taylor onto 314 style.
That whole vid is perfect: the music's great, and I love the sparkle drum kit, the skinny ties, and the thin lapel suits. The set backdrop is great as well!

On that Baby Taylor... are those capos on the 2nd and 4th frets?

I have seen that before, I can't remember who it was at the moment. I believe there are tapped threads along the fretboard to attach small hold clamps on allowing different tuning options.
