"Java Jive" on Steel Guitar

Kay Das · From: Los Angeles CA

"Java Jive", is a 1940 song hit by The Ink Spots who played a large role in pioneering the black vocal group-harmony genre, helping to pave the way for the doo wop explosion of the '50s. This tune was written by Ben Oakland (1907-1979). A popular cover was also recorded by The Manhattan Transfer.

Here is a version on the steel guitar, using the Steelocaster A6. The rhythm guitar is a Martin Custom X. Key of F. Artistes: Kay Das and David Das.
