This is a good chart, however it is definately not the famous 1942 Hampton version.
According to Peder, it is a composite of a bunch of different versions, and is unique in that respect.
It starts in Eb, head, vibes solo, trumpet solo. Then it moves to Ab for the obligitory 2 choruses of tenor solo (RIP-Illinois!), and then moves to Db to finish.
The vibes parts are cued on most of the parts, and although it is a 8/5 chart, my 5/4 band played it with no problem.
One thing, my lead tenor (a big Illinois Jacquet fan) said that chords are not quite right for famous tenor solo - instead they go from a Ab decending line to Ab-Db7-Eb7sus-Ab (2 bars each). The chords sound fine, and don't pose a particular problem, but don't expect the original solo to be useful there.
4 stars - assuming a unique arrangement is what you're looking for.
1 star - you wanted 1942.
