Shanghai Shuffle
Song by Fletcher Henderson and his orchestra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Shanghai Shuffle" is a jazz standard composed by Larry Conley and Gene Rodemich[1] and recorded in 1924 by Fletcher Henderson featuring Louis Armstrong.[2] It is in the key of F major and is evidently influenced by "Limehouse Blues".[3] The signature clarinet sound has an eastern quality to it; Jeffrey Magee calls it an attempt to "reinforce the exotic jazz-Chinese connection".[4]
