Liner Notes

Not exactly big band jazz, but something jazz-ish. Out my comfort zone, but was fun to do

Lyrics

It feels so cool, Saturday night
We’re stepping out, It feels so right
The bass is walking, the drums are tight,
 We’re dancing under the star-filled night

 Dancing in the moonlight, the rhythm takes control, 
Swinging to the heartbeat, let it fill your soul. \
The band is playing it feels just right
We’ll dance right through into the night

The piano’s rolling, smooth and low, 
The night is buzzing, let’s take it slow. 
The crowd is swaying, the vibe’s just right, 
We’re lost in the magic of the jazz tonight
We’re shuffling, shuffling in the moonlight
Me and my baby and it feels so right.

This has got a great feel to it - vocal is great - I liked it a lot. :-)

I love the jazzy easy going weekend feel of this! Makes me happy! Tight drums and walking bass in the moonlight makes for a great dance! Wonderful sound!

I was going to do something like this but got stuck and went to a DAW to work on something. This works great though! Wish I could have been inspired to write something this good!

Add some horns it's at least at home on Bourbon Street. Which should be hopping tonight on Super Bowl eve!) Fun post, thanks!

You may not have grabbed the big band jazz, but you did get some smooth ensemble jazz shuffle. This would be great with a nice sax or even clarinet solo.

A great statement of the ideals of the big band era. That groove is easy to listen to.
