Re: songs with very clear AAAB phrases

Yes!! It worked, I could finally listen to the song, Jesse. Third time's a charm ;) This one is so clear, you cannot only hear the pattern, you can also see the pattern in the wave form....! Fantastic, and a great tempo for a beginner's class! Now I just need to manage to get a version of the song ...

Re: songs with very clear AAAB phrases

I still don't know how to properly describe the phrases we are talking about, but let me at least try my link again.

Re: songs with very clear AAAB phrases

Oh, I think I was too late to hear the preview. I'm sorry for the late responses - I should get notifications now and will try to be better at reacting... Since you already listened to the wrong song (sorry for that, I didn't double check), I am curious what it is, if not AAAB. Is there a way to de...

Re: songs with very clear AAAB phrases

Thank you, Jesse - I'm glad to read your comment because that is exactly what I heard in the song! Good to have confirmation. So maybe "They can't take that away from me" is a bit difficult to start with. I found a youtube version of Lindy Hop Heaven on youtube, here: https://www.youtube....

Re: songs with very clear AAAB phrases

Thanks so much for your response, lipi! I have gone through all the songs and will post a more detailed response later, but to get back quicker: This has been very helpful! One thing I found interesting and wanted to share: I'm a not very experienced dancer (not musician, and still lots and lots to...

Way to go fellow-members!

Make sure to update your initial post with the now-identified songs, so that when members revisit your thread, they can easily identify what further songs you need assistance identifying.

Re: Can anyone suggest different slower version of ..

You are probably looking for Ray Anthony's version (166 bpm) from the Oscillatin' Rhythm compilation. Not sure if it is available elsewhere.
