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

There was a fellow Jefferson who
Would tear it up with the
A phenomenon who they used to call the Main Man
He would think like a sage, sing like a
And on the stage somethin special was born
He swing, dit n doo dat
He was The Cat.
He sang Moody in 57
He put a to bop
When little Benny down from Heaven
He put it the top
Jazz was hot in the East, in the West
But his vocalese it was simply the
man, couldnt he scat
He was The Cat.
Eddie was hip but as an old man
Takin that to celebrate Coleman
it rip on Body and Soul man
And oh what hed do, the poetry
A father was Jefferson but
He got the acclaim
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 when there was jazz cookin up on corner
Everybody would sit and listen as blew
Tellin they knew in each his own way
the news, bop to blues
Set the any way theyd want to
was always there
Electrifyin the air everywhere youd be, let me ya
All around youd the sound of life abounding free
out of a horn, bein born a new way
Never knew what youd
we heard from The Bean
Then the on the scene was so choice:
Eddie Jeffersons voice, what a beautiful
of a lyric and what an inventor
Singin with the of jazz at the center
Anyone hear it knew that he was a mentor
Enter for the the sound
You found the rhythm town where you can vocabulary
To every melody you hear
For when Eddie sing, the story was king
Hed talk about a thing, be sockin it like the swing of a bat
He it like that!
He embrace his lyrical zen to
those phrases like he was meant to
Take us to nobodyd been to
An climb, the cleverest kind!
When Charlie Parker and Moody it
There was a hush in the
And then when would elevate it
The jazz community
Hed evoke what we on the soloin rides
And make every word tell a besides
And were all our hat!
He Was The Cat.
