Good God almighty
Like back in the old days
You know, years ago they had the A&R men to tell you what to play
How to play it
You know, whether it was disco or rock
But we just told Bruce that we want a straight ahead jazz album
So we got all the fellas together
Grady Tate, Ron Carter, George Benson, Stanley Turrentine
Stanley was coming off of a cool jazz festival
Ron was coming off a cool jazz festival
And we just went in the studio and we did it
We had champagne in the studio of course
You know, compliments of the company
And we just laid back and did it
Also, Grady Tate's wife brought down some home cooked chicken
And we just laid back and we was chomping on chicken and having a ball
Jazz is the only real music that's gonna last
All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow
But jazz was, is, and always will be
We may not do this recording again
Or maybe I'll not get with the fellas again
George, Ron, Grady Tate, Stanley Turrentine
So we hope you enjoy listening to this album half as much
As we enjoy playing it for you
Because we had a ball
