Go, go, go, go, come on!
We're playin' with our theme song, 'Blues For Heard'
That brings us to the close of the first set
I'd like to have you meet
On bass, my first time ever to play with this gentleman
The other bass player's mother is very ill
And he had to fly home
And we did all this, put all this together today
A great, great, great player, unbelievable player
George Mraz on bass
ย
Beautiful, that even reminded me
Several months, maybe, might be that once ago, man
Not even knew his name
That's why I'm moving to New York, man
It's filled with junks, junks and madmen
Crazy people, nuts, wild folk
That's what I am, nuts, crazy, and a loon (damn!)
And on the piano, my favorite piano player
The most swingin' card, goin'
The piano player of today, George Cables (yeah!)
And, Mr. Drums
Winner of the critic's poll, winner of the Japanese poll
Winner of the Romanian poll, the Cyberian poll
Valte Rooney poll, Elvin Jones, Master Jones, yeah!
ย
My last album, I was lucky enough to have recorded it with
Elvin on drums and George Cables on piano
And David Williams on bass
Titled 'Art Pepper: The Trip on Contemporary'
And the record before that which 'sold' Art Pepper: Living Legend
With the late Hampton Hawes on piano
Charlie Heaton on bass and Shelly Mane on drums
They're both for sale in the back by my wife
Raise your hand, baby
That pretty little, sweet little Jewish freak right there
That's, that's my seventh woman
If I lose her, I'll go get an eighth
But I hope she don't leave me, because I needs her
Thank you, see you later
