What the heck, Tony and I like the oldies. Also, the reason I use the SEVEN so often is because I'm a superfan of the great Milt Jackson. I also love some of Vic Feldman's stuff. Both very soulful. You may remember Milt with John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet from the 60's and 70's. Never was much of a Lionel Hampton fan. Probably the style (big band). The exception was of course my cousin (second), Count Basie. At one point in my life I lived two blocks from him in St Albans, Queens (NY). Anyhoo, just noodlin' through some old tunes and decided to quick record this one. It's got to be 2000 yrs old . Unprocessed.

Now you're talking,Chas. My kind of music. Thanks for sharing.

SWEET!! Love it!

When you can play songs like this, like this, there's no need to learn new material ...
Thank you, chas ...

Thanks guys. Tony, for some reason the old tunes from that era just seem to flow more naturally. Even the lyrics actually made sense . Of course most of the tunes we now label as 'standards' started life as 'show tunes', composed mostly for Broadway shows by the great Broadway composers of that era. Ahhh, what a 'golden age' for music.

Thanks for posting your work

Sounded really good. Love the B sound. I thought you were too lazy to record new material and was expecting a blank box p.s. check your spelling

Bernie, Chas, Steve, in the golden years lyric were put to a melody, they were one, they flowed beautifully.

I think of the song Feelings, lyrics and melody were saying the same story. Misty, What are you doing the rest of your life, I’ll remember April, How high the moon, the list is long.

My request; please start posting his kind of music, it will make my day.

How true,John,

The wonderful lyrics told a beautiful story,coupled with a great tune. Now,it seems,we have repetitive lyrics going nowhere,and questionable tunes. Of coarse,there are those that would disagree,and that's fine.

Smooth!
