Now playing:

There Will Never Be Another You (Harry Warren & Mack Gordon)

This jazz favorite is taken at a gentle clip, hoping to achieve Count Basie's philosophy of swing: "I just think swing is a matter of some good things put together that you can really pat your foot by. I can't define it beyond that" [quoted in Stanley Dance's The World of Swing, available online at http://www.freddiegreen.com/interviews/dance2.html]

In the Halfway to Dawn trio sample, Broadhead plays the melody on tenor sax over an elegant, skipping bass line by Michael Daly and Bill Reda's tasteful comping.

Halfway to Dawn musicians include Glenn Broadhead (tenor sax), Bill Reda (guitar), and Michael Daly (bass).

Recorded in 2008 by Nick Eipers and his students at Columbia College (Chicago).
