Sunrise Serenade: Special Delivery Stomp

I like it when musicians incorporate instruments that seem otherwise outside their genre.  Today's Sunrise Serenade was an example:  "Special Delivery Stomp" by Artie Shaw, featuring that bastion of swing band instruments, the harpsicord.  Click on the song title to listen courtesy of Jazz On Line.
