Last weekend at All Balboa Weekend, we had again our Battle of the Bands (check out the insights).
This year, I was representing Harry James. After playing that song, many dancers came to me to ask for the title – it's our Song of the Week.
James Session
The sound quality is bad but I couldn't find a better version on YouTube unless the ones from 1955 (which are obviously different).
Here is a link to Spotify:
This song has so many various layers, it's just amazing. You have to listen to it several times and you always discover new sounds within the song.
It's not an easy song to dance to but an interesting one for sure!
