The Shadow Lounge

Story Behind The Song

In London's seedy Soho district, one can find The Shadow Lounge - home to spies, smugglers, clandestine lovers, and lonely people of all sorts. There is an element of ever-present danger coupled with the excitement of illicit romance.

Song Description

Medium tempo swing with an AABA structure. The A sections are dangerous with an air of mystery while the B section changes feel and becomes more romantic and lounge-like. Solos by piano and tenor sax.
