Liner Notes

#jazz #jive #acousticonetake
Demo added February 18, trying not to add anything to the music that was in my head as I wrote the lyrics.

Lyrics

Musicians as models did not start with Grace Jones
There was a whole generation with trumpets and trombones
If there was no room for doubt that music was their art
They would find a way to slide into your heart

Go on and make this town your own
Blow on that trombone
Smile and take us home

So it’s another town and another Tuesday night
You can’t quite see the crowd between the footlights
It doesn’t matter now because you’ve practiced for this moment
And you’re on it well before the doors are opened

Go on and make this town your own
Blow on that trombone
Smile and take us home

Take us to another place
Shine that light upon your face

Go on and make this town your own
Blow on that trombone
Smile and take us home

Nice visuals. My great-grandmother was a flapper, and I like imagining her young and in those times. Although Big Band is really my grandparents generation. I love the trombone sound too. :)
