Along Came Betty – Duo im Halbdunkel

Intimate guitar–tenor sax jazz club vibe; slow, swaying swing at ballad tempo. Male vocals sit smoky and close-mic’d, like a narrator watching the duo from the back of the room. Sparse chordal guitar, brushes on snare, warm upright bass; sax steps forward in instrumental breaks, weaving around the vocal. Dynamic arc: whispered first verse, chorus opens slightly, bridge blooms with harmonic tension then resolves back to a soft, tender reprise.
