39:57 Feedback
- Rachel B has a music identification request, and I think the answer is "Ice Cream" by Tin Pan - Underdogs & Thundercats (available on AmazonMp3, iTunes Plus and eMusic!!!).
- Petter Fornes (Oslo, Norway) suggests the Modern Jazz Quartet as a possible answer to Marc D'Olimpio's search to identify an unknown version of "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise". Jesse thinks the version on the album "The Complete Last Concert" (available on AmazonMp3, iTunes Plus and eMusic!!!) sounds similar. Peter also recommends "Down Home Jump" by Lionel Hampton - All Star Sessions, Volume 1: Open House (available on AmazonMp3, iTunes Plus and eMusic!!!).

- Yulai Liu (Indiana) recommends "Clarinet Creole" by Sammy Price - Good Paree. Watch the performance by Thomas Blacharz & Alice Mei.
- Heidi van der Wijk (aka Superheidi) (Rotterdam, Netherlands) recommends "Like It Is" by Erroll Garner - That's My Kick (available on AmazonMp3, iTunes Plus and eMusic!!!) and shares the latest Roffaswing Hot 100 Number 2.
- David Afonso (Portugal) recommends "Danse De La Fee Dragee (Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy)" by Jerome Etcheberry's Swingberries - Laughing At Life (available on AmazonMp3, iTunes Plus and eMusic!!!).
- Jose Tello (Seattle) recommends "Love Me Or Leave Me" by Pat Flowers - 1945-1947 (available on AmazonMp3 and iTunes Plus).
