There are tunes that are usually played at a fast tempo. But occasionally I
wil hear
a band play one of those at a slow tempo (or medium slow)---and it turns out
rather
nicely. A few examples come to mind---
..."After You've Gone" ----- "Limehouse Blues" ----"World is Waiting for the
Sunrise"--
---and some others that escape my memory right now.
-----
And one example of a slow tune (at least it is by the current popular
version) that
works quite nicely at a medium fast tempo---"At Last"
Some other examples come to mind?
