Woogie Boogie is one of a handful of Dylan originals that he recorded during the Self Portrait sessions. Like some of the other originals from these sessions, this tune was a “left of center” and uncharacteristic tune for Dylan. A loose roadhouse blues jam with some cool horn interjections.
“I feel that what we did is in character with the original Dylan track which sounds like a warm up/sound check that the band did in the studio. I like the loose feeling of the original, and I feel we were in the same space; it was recorded in one take at the very end of a long weekend of focussed recording, and it was nice to blow off some steam!” – David Dvorin
Flounder formed in 2018 after a well-received concert at California State University, Chico, where Dvorin is a Professor of Music. The collaboration was so enjoyable that the four musicians decided to keep the project going, naming the group “Flounder” after Dvorin’s composition “I’m the Flounder” (itself a nod towards John Lennon’s “I Am the Walrus”). Since then, the group has gone on to present their special blend of Space Age Jazz, Mid-Century Blues, and classical chamber music throughout their native Northern California, performing in diverse venues ranging from concert halls to jazz clubs.
