About
Caity Gyorgy opens the solo section on voice, stretching out for one chorus at approximately 167 BPM. Set within a swinging rhythmic framework, the 36-bar ABAC form and the key of E♭, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. As the first voice heard after the head, Gyorgy sets the improvisational tone before passing to Benny Benack III. Gyorgy, a rising star of the Canadian vocal jazz scene, brings a warm, assured interpretation to the lyric, while Benack, known primarily as a trumpeter, reveals his considerable vocal chops with a swinging, personality-filled chorus of his own. Listen for Caity's nods to K.C and the Sunshine Band's "That's the way I like it" and Tadd Damerson's "Good Bait".
Caity Gyorgy was 23 to 24 years old at the time.
