This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

 Last night we got to meet another member of Vanessa Coffman’s saxophonic family — a sexy silver soprano sax that Veezy’s has named “Savoy.” 

 And what an excellent moniker that is for this lovely instrument, which is a refurbished 1920s sax that was in its infancy when New York’s great Savoy Ballroom for which it was named was just starting to showcase the century’s greatest jazz musicians. 

Well, so in honor of this venerable guest, you know we had to come up with an evening of appropriate tunes which would let it rock but also roll,
like this, an alternately rollicking, then prancing rendition of the 1930s classic, “Blue Moon.”
