Easy listening songs for quiet gigs - 04/17/05 07:37 AM
I am assembling a play list for quiet performances. No rock songs, no twangy country, nothing loud. For more intimate settings. More like what you'd hear from a jazz combo. Nothing too sad, nothing gawdy. Ones that lends themselves to jazzy arrangements are favored. I don't know very many old standards, I guess I should learn a few. Here are a few I have from mostly the pop world.
