    Default Zanzibar - Billy Joel

    One look at these chords will convince you this particular piece is closer to jazz than pop. From his 52nd St. LP, a very jazzy effort.

    I'm not good with rhythms but I'd say this is closer to Samba than anything else. Please correct me.

    ...and because Billy Joel can sing higher than I can, here it is down a fifth.

    Sounds pretty good on the player at 150 bpm using Latin.
