Song of the Volga Boatman
Song of the Volga Boatman
as performed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra
$80
This swingin’ Bill Finegan arrangement of a traditional Russian folk shanty has some great ensemble work, several peaks, and a rare jazz canon for the brass! Some simple plunger work helps ground it in the swing era, and a huge finale with harmony way ahead of it’s time makes Song of the Volga Boatman a killer addition to any big band book.
