Well I'm on a roll this month. Just To Get Back To You Chicago/Dixieland swing tune, using RT of course. Somewhat different format for me but I'm experimenting. If there are any Dixieland music purist out there, your thoughts please. Dixieland Medley: Teddy Trio with Miles, Neil and Clark rhythm, Trumpet, clarinet and trombone:

JUST TO GET BACK TO YOU
I'm rocking through the east side
Rolling through the west side
I'm walking on the wild side
Just To Get Back To You.
I'm chillin' through the north side,
Sunning on the south side
I'm traveling on the light side
Just to prove I'm true.
No matter what direction
Who cares what route I take
As long as your sweet lovin'
directs every step I make
I'm struttin' on the high side,
with no detour in view.
I'm looking on the bright side
Just To Get Back To You.

Hi Carolyne

A really good boppy feel, good lyrics, and great choice of instruments for the solos. Very traditional!

You've certainly got a winning sound and a terrific voice.

Nice blend and use of the RT's. Enjoyed it.

Hi Carolyne,

really feel good music.
Nice lyrics, good choice of RTs and
a great voice.

Wonderful Jazz voice Carolyne. Nicely arranged and produced. For me the instrumental break goes on a little long but this is not a genre I have much experience with so that may be the norm of how it's done...

Great to have another gal on the forums. Keep 'em coming.

I love the "attitude" of the lyrics!! Very crafty!! Keep it up. Take care. Greg

Just a thanks to all. I have listened to many of you and feel I'm in good company. This is a great forum. Thank you PG Music.

Sounds like you hit the nail on the head, thanks for sharing!

Hi, Carolyne !:))

is really a very nice tune that
makes people feel good and your
voice is as made for this genré !
I enjoyed this performance really
much !:))

Carolyne,
I loved it. I've done a few dixieland and swing things. This really hits the mark. I like the medley RT.

Many thanks. Great company...I love this forum.

As a big lover/listener of 'old jazz', I'd definitely say you nail the genre. Even the lyrics, vocabulary and all, is top notch.
