[Dixielandjazz] "Dream a Little Dream of Me"

[Tony Orr]

It is somehow refreshing to play songs in another key sometimes and, 
"Dream a Little Dream Of Me" goes really well in G. So does "Out Of 
Nowhere". Then again, a common tune like "All Of Me" gets a real lift 
when played in Db instead of Bb.

Ella and Louis' recording early on of "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" is a 
vocal masterpiece.

cheers (IMHO)
