[Dixielandjazz] Verses

[Eric Holroyd]

VERSE: The part of a tune that's disposable, except to its composer.

I LIKE verses!

Without the verse The Sheik Of Araby is a quite banal tune.

The choruses of AIn’t Misbehavin’, Someday Sweetheart, Ain’t Gonna GIve Nobody None ‘O This Jellyroll are all ‘set up’ beautifully by first having the verse played – or preferably sung.

There are hundreds of others too...
