Fresh arrangement - WDR brings it. Rich and deeply felt voice, Ms. Springs!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Michael! Thank you very much! Yes, Kandace has a rich voice!

[@ConcreteJungleJazzClub]

The magic of her voice and the beauty of this arrangement is only matched by the surreal glamour of the faces in the audience. We need to reclaim this feeling. 🎶🙌

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Concrete! Wise words!

[@brucekuehn4031]

The human face which includes the nose, mouth, and the chin. They will return!

[@winstonwolfe5733]

Fantastic WDR once again and brilliant interpretation by Kandace (my favorite sung rendition by far). I am also amazed and pleased that very often, when arrangers want to bring a funky latin feeling to a tune, they'll use Señor Blues bass line.
