Opening bass chordline . . .

[edit]

The opening bass chord line for approximately four phrases (which are then repeated) bears an identical progression to that of Take the A Train (Billy Strayhorn). Comparing dates, Strayhorn could have penned his melodic ditty above this base line after I Dreamt I Dwelt in Harlem was first played in a Glen Miller broadcast. It would have been a close few stray days to be sure. It is unmistakable to even any most casual ear; which mine just happened to be, listening to a rendition of I Dreamt I Dwelt in Harlem from The Delta Rhythm Boys.
