Need help finding a song name. PLEASE HELP!

Post by Todd Pertll »

There is a song I heard years ago that I’m trying to find.

I’m almost positive it’s Joaquin Murphy playing with either an orchestra or at least a large string section. I don’t remember it being Western swing. It was more like an Aaron Copeland or George Gershwin type of song. I keep thinking something like Rhapsody in Blue.

Is that ringing any bells for anyone?

Thanks

Yes! That’s it. Thank you so much.

It’s been a while since I heard it. What a great song.

That’s what I was thinking. My memory was pretty far off, but he still got it.
