"Crazy Face" The song I chose to review is “Crazy Face” by Van Morrison on the album “His Band and the Street Choir”. The tone color of this song is upbeat and jazzy‚ not so much inspirational‚ but laid back and pleasant. The tempo is based around an 8th note signature‚ mostly displayed by the Hi-hat in what I would classify as allegretto. The instruments involved in this song are; a piano‚ a standard drum set most likely a five piece with a standard 2 toms maybe 3‚ bass drum‚ snare‚ ride symbol
