One of the most memorable and inventive Davenport Blues I ever heard  
was by Gerry Mulligan and Zoot Sims, on a Mulligan Album titled  
Something Borrowed Something Blue. (Limelight) His take turned the  
song into a slow, sexy, belly rubbing Blues.

You can hear all 7 minutes and 32 seconds of it at:

Click on "Prelisten track" on the upper right side of the page.

SOULFUL is how I hear it. A song to listen to while with your main  
squeeze in front of a roaring fire on a bearskin rug in winter. The  
only thing missing, as Don Ingle would say, is a wee dram of Cardhu.

Mulligan bari sax; Sims tenor sax; Eddie Gomez bass; David Baily  
drums; Warren Bernhardt piano
