Duke's Boots

A video from Steve Klink's CD Searching the Blue:

I really love this version of the song. We really got a great groove going. When Marcus (drums) and Henning (kontrabass) get locked together there are magical moments of medium swing.

While it sounds very simple and bluesy, what I really like about this song is its 7-bar A section and 9-bar B section. And the kind of country feel that the bridge has. And the fact that we play it in F#. So let's talk about Henning Gailing and his great intonation! It's really, really hard for kontrabass players to play in F#, but on this recording Henning makes it look and sound easy.
