Luyện nghe bài hát He Was The Cat (A Tribute to Eddie Jefferson)

There was a fellow Jefferson who
tear it up with the band
A vocalizin phenomenon who used to call the Main Man
He would think like a sage, like a horn
And there on the stage special was born
He swing, dit n doo dat
He was The Cat.
He with Moody in 57
He put a to bop
When Benny came down from Heaven
He put it the top
Jazz was hot in the East, cool in the
But his vocalese it was the best
Because man, couldnt he
He was The Cat.
was hip but wise as an old man
Takin trip to celebrate Coleman
it rip on Body and Soul man
And oh what hed do, the poetry
A founding was Jefferson but
He never got the
Were here to you that hes the one that
Put in the game
He would dig sittin in, the hit
And then he would spin out a to fit
He was some
He was The Cat.
There was a time there was jazz cookin up on every corner
Everybody would sit and listen as they
stories they knew in each his own way
Tellin the news, bop to
Set the any way theyd want to
was always there
Electrifyin the air youd be, let me tell ya
All around youd hear the of life abounding free
Comin out of a horn, born a new way
Never what youd hear
First we heard The Bean
the word on the scene was so choice:
Eddie Jeffersons voice, what a beautiful
Master of a lyric and an inventor
Singin with the spirit of at the center
Anyone hear it knew that he was a mentor
for the love the sound
You found the town where you can marry vocabulary
To every melody that you
For when would sing, the story was king
Hed talk about a thing, be sockin it like the swing of a bat
He sang it that!
He would his lyrical zen to
Tickle phrases like he was meant to
Take us to places been to
An Everest climb, the kind!
Charlie Parker and Moody played it
There was a in the crowd
And then when Eddie would it
The jazz bowed
Hed evoke we heard on the soloin rides
And make every word a story besides
And all tippin our hat!
He Was The Cat.
