Composed and arranged by David Berger
Journal Square is an original composition and arrangement by David Berger. This straight ahead shuffle is in the tradition of Duke Ellington's train songs. Berger used it as his band's opener for many years. Conceived by the composer while riding home on the Journal Square train, it features a 12-bar minor form and has plenty of opportunities to open things up for solos.
