Re: [Harp-L] The Days of Wine and Roses

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Toots plays it somewhere around 120, if you count the beats like this:

The Days 2 3 4 1) of wine and (1 2 3 4 1) etc.

So basically midtempo. You could play it a little slower or faster, but it's almost never a barn burner or a ballad that moves at a glacial pace.

Hi Jazz Harpers

Could someone tell me what tempo "The Days of Wine and Roses" is usually
played at in the jazz environment? Is this tune in your harp repertoire?

Thanks
