well i like jazz. this is not strictly jazz but it comes close. i played it in a very jazzy state of mind. there is a bit of funk in it, but i think in my own mind it's necessary.
Just found this - Stephane Grappelli with David Grisman et. al. 1979 and I remember this tune as if it were, well, yesterday. (edit in: yay, it's a twofer!)
