Janet Metzger: Listen
(If I Had) Rhythm In My Nursery Rhymes
(from SO MANY STARS)
2004
"Mary had a little lamb, they got into quite a jam.
But I told them both to scram ‘cause I need rhythm in my nursery rhymes."
Jimmy Lunsford's band, with Sammy Cahn crafting the lyrics, created a hip number that reminds one of those swinging cartoons of the 40's and 50's. Everyone in Metzger's killer combo swings full out on the solos.
