Angelo DeBarre does a pretty great version of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4mc5R3xuLo

He has a studio version, too, but I can't remember which album

Thanks everyone for your helpful posts, I ended up getting the version on the "Portrait of Angelo Debarre" CD off of the "Angelo is Back" LP.

Out of all this big names I like the most Alfonso Ponticelli's version. If you are ever in Chicago you have to go to see him at the "Green Mill" (every Wednesday).

Tincup -
I agree with you on the great recording of "Swing Gitane" (cd also) by Ponticelli. So clean and uncluttered. While Angelo and company have more technical abiltity, their version is too fast and "full" for my taste. Alfonso's timing on his solo is unique also.
