BREAK A LEG, VZ - Credit: Vesna Zafirovic (B Side) BREAK A LEG, VZ - Credit: Vesna Zafirovic (B Side)
JBBQ wondered if it were possible to "Break A Leg" on the Flipside (B Side) after our song BREAK A LEG, VZ. So, we dropped the Melody - combined Sax/Trumpet Solos with Piano, Bass, Drums & Guitar - kept the ShowBiz "Good Luck" wish of Leg Breakin'.
BREAK A LEG, VZ - Inspired By Vesna Zafirovic BREAK A LEG, VZ - Inspired By Vesna Zafirovic
In ShowBiz, especially Theatre, the saying "Break A Leg" is a traditional way of wishing performers "Good Luck" prior to a show. This little song was inspired by JBBQ original member, Vesna Zafirovic. This tune features Pianos, Sax, Bass, & Drums.
