There shouldnt be much debate. Pete, uh, rePeted himself, in that he reclycled various bass lines and riffs into different titles. But THIS tune on THIS Utube post is NOT Dive Bomber! The 1944 recordings by Brunswick are the definitive Pete, at his best. Somewhat as an aside, it is possible some of the tunes on the Brunswick recordings, such as Dive Bomber, were recorded with a bass player subtley mixed, and glued to the bass line.

Not to argue, but on the original recording of Dive Bomber, Pete drops a bunch of beautiful dissonant "bombs" near the end, which add vivid images to the piece's title. This recording is not live, but radio, and the title announced was miscued by the DJ or whoever.

Didn't really hear Pete sounding like a B19, lol, but loved his piano playing, and that's what matters! :-)

Listen to Dive Bomber, not this song, the real one, and go to @ 1 minute 53 seconds, you will hear the bombs.

Nice song, but these comment are confusing me. Lets get this straight. Is this Dive Bomber or Answer to the Boogie?

I dont know lol..you can clearly hear he saying that this is Dive Bomber, but maybe again Pete J. had more versions of the song??

That sounds possible... But the songs seem too different for him to have made them the same song, they don't even sound that much the same. But who knows?
