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

There was a fellow named who
Would tear it up with the
A phenomenon who they used to call the Main Man
He would think like a sage, sing a horn
And there on the somethin 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, in the West
But his it was simply the best
man, couldnt he scat
He was The Cat.
Eddie was hip but as an old man
Takin trip to celebrate Coleman
Lettin it rip on and Soul man
And oh what hed do, the poetry
A father was Jefferson but
He never got the
Were here to you that hes the one that
Put vocalese in the
He would dig in, blowin the hit
And then he would out a story to fit
He was some
He was The Cat.
was a time when there was jazz cookin up on every corner
Everybody sit and listen as they blew
stories they knew in each his own way
Tellin the news, bop to
Set the moods any way theyd to
Innovation was always
the air everywhere youd be, let me tell ya
All around youd hear the of life abounding free
Comin out of a horn, bein a new way
Never knew youd hear
First we heard The Bean
Then the on the scene was so choice:
Eddie Jeffersons voice, what a noise
Master of a lyric and what an
Singin with the of jazz at the center
Anyone whod it knew that he was a mentor
Enter for the love the
You the rhythm town where you can marry vocabulary
To every melody you hear
For when Eddie sing, the story was king
Hed talk about a thing, then be sockin it like the of a bat
He sang it that!
He would his lyrical zen to
those phrases like he was meant to
Take us to places been to
An climb, the cleverest kind!
When Charlie Parker and Moody it
There was a in the crowd
And then when would elevate it
The jazz bowed
Hed evoke what we heard on the soloin
And make every word tell a besides
And were all our hat!
He Was The Cat.
