Those of you who have been following my musical Saturdays will know that my taste in music is broad, a fact of which I take full advantage with these Saturday Posts! This piece was very popular in 1961 (I was around 15!) and, like many of my other Saturday choices, is once again a little different. I defy anybody to listen to it, and not find a foot or two tapping away! Enjoy … and watch your feet!
Sorry about the 15 secs silence at the beginning, but you can always drag the cursor along to the 15s mark … or you can simply be patient! 🙂
A New Direction Perhaps? 
Yes my foot was tapping, couldn’t resist.
I found the name interesting too, just like the tune.
“Midnight in Moscow” , makes you think of a clear night and the full moon shining. The clock strikes midnight as Cinderella hurries to leave the Ball.

I cannot quite associate Cinderella with a traditional jazz number … but I guess you can! 🙂

It’s not mine, although I did have an Akai reel-to-reel 4-track machine in the mid/late 80’s. 🙂

I waited, it was well worth the wait! I don’t remember this Kenny Ball recording, but it did seem familiar. After a bit of research, I found the Chad Mitchell Trio recording of Moscow Nights and this I do remember. A very different interpretation of the original Moscow Nights by both… yet, each is quite enjoyable listening for me. Thank-you!
