The introduction on the Bob Crosby / Irving Fazola recording of Spain is
actually the chords of the bridge of the tune. It's also used for the
ending of the recording. A very nice arrangement. Very simple and
swings easily. Pete Fountain heard me play it with Fulton Street down at
the LA Classic Festival many years ago and said it was so nice to hear it
again.

Subject: [Dixielandjazz] Spain verse
I play as a feature as I am sure many clarinet players out there do a fine
tune written by Isham Jones and Gus Kahn called 'Spain' of course the
version we all know is by Irvin Fazola with Bob Crosby, I have just been
informed via a phone call by my cornet player that it has a verse, on the
Fazola recording there is an intro but I am almost sure that is not the
verse, does anybody know of a recording of it or dots, thanks in
anticipation.
