[Dixielandjazz] Goodman's Air Mail Special

[Robert Newman]

Russ -- I suggest you forget the Bb version.    Transpose it to C Concert 
and that will give you the feel  the way Benny had it.    You'll find the 
bridge sails right along.   Run the bridge over and over again.    Soon the 
fingering will come automatically and faster and faster.
