About 90% of the time I play this song as a 'swing' song so it was an interesting beginning with what felt to me like a 6/8 tempo ...
However, the lead voice TO ME made it sound like a Christmas song ... and if I might 'critique' in a constructive way, I would say that when playing over a SMF one should mute any other lead voices ... in this tune, it sounds like a piano and then a vibes are taking solos, and you are playing a melody line over them, which once again, TO ME, sounds very confusing ...
