JSngry Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hear this thing whilst driving around running errands, got home before it was announced, had to come directly inside, etc. All I know is that it was preannounced as being by Bob Crosby. 'Twas a minor-keyed piece w/electric guitar & plunger trumpet featured, kind of a vampy thing. Vaguely reminiscent of Artie Shaw's "Nightmare" in harmonic flavor, but like I said, basically a vamp, not a lot of changes. So what's the piece, and more interestingly to me, who was the electric guitarist? As always, thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinging Swede Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 It was probably Chain Gang from 1942, composed and arranged by Bob Haggart. Yank Lawson on trumpet, and Nappy Lamare on guitar. You can hear a one-minute sample here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
