1949 Tex Beneke - Blues In The Night March (instrumental)

A pop-jazz standard in a march rhythm arrangement? This revisits the concept made famous by Glenn Miller’s AAF title “St. Louis Blues March,” unreleased commercially by Miller at the time but popularized on a post-war recording by the Beneke-led band.

CD audio, original 78rpm issue on RCA Victor 20-2513 - Blues In The Night March (Johnny Mercer-Harold Arlen) by Tex Beneke and his Orchestra, recorded June 9, 1949
