I've always loved the particular version of "Night Train" (what you can hear of it) from the dance sequence in this film. Anyone know whose version that is? Or was it done especially for the movie? I think the tempo and the sax are perfect, and I would love to have this version for my music collection.
shareHere's a youtube video that has 3 versions of "Night Train" back-to-back:
1) Jimmy Forrest (R&B band 1952; innovative re-interpretation of Ellington)
2) Buddy Morrow (big band hit 1952; recorded after Forrest's version)
3) Duke Ellington ("Happy-Go-Lucky Local" 1940s original version)
Not sure if any of these were used in the movie. Good luck!

Hey, thanks. I think I've heard one of these but definitely not all three. I'll check them out.
shareAs somebody who has the Fred Karlin album, I have to inform you that although the song sounds like "Night Train," it isn't.

If it's what I think you're talking about, the name of the song is "You're Hip, Miss Pastorfield."
