Description

St. Louis Blues is a true jazz classic. Bessie Smith’s version (with Louis Armstrong on coronet) has been inducted into the Grammy Hall-Of-Fame. We’ve set it from the man’s perspective — his high maintenance gal has left him hangin’. With a fun bounce back and forth between Swing and Rhumba this tune is a crowd pleaser. The usual head treatment leads to the Vocal section. The alternating Swing and Rhumba has a nice background treatment and we cap it off with some open solos. A must have for your playlist!
