This is why I love the music posts. I am introduced to music that I ordinarily wouldn’t seek out.
That was amazing, RG! I’ve only heard Take the A Train in the style of big band. This version put a little zing into it. Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome. Glad you liked it. I love the richness of big band, it’s kind of midway between pop and classical. If anybody’s interested there’s a Soundie (music video before music videos) of Duke Ellington doing the original with lyrics that’s also excellent.
