Double Bass STUMP PULL WARMBATON

Ed Fuqua said:
each shining star's a love affair
whispering that you'll be returning when
Autumn comes again
and you'll be
beside me
making all my autumn dreams
come true

Each tiny star is but a prayer
that when it's fall again
love will call again
and you'll be
beside me
to make my autumn dreams come true.

I looked it up. I have a version of this tune which is on a GREAT (imo) record by Peter Bernstein called Stranger In Paradise with Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier, and Bill Stewart.
 
I don't think this is silly at all. As many times as I've played Polka Dots and Moonbeams, I just realized I either never heard a vocal version or didn't pay attention to the lyrics. I had recently put it off as an overplayed and uninteresting ballad, but now these lyrics shed a new light on it for me.

I need to learn more lyrics.

What're you saying T? Is this another verse or did Ed make his up?

These are the lyrics to the last A section, which Ed was unsure of. So the whole section is,

The flaming moon reminds me of
the night of love that we once knew.
Each tiny star is but a prayer
that when it's fall again
love will call again
and you'll be
beside me
to make my autumn dreams come true.

It's in The Standards Real Book (Chuck Sher).
 
YOUR STREAU - yeah, that falls under the "No Vocalese" clause.

TYBALD - thanks, that whole last verse has been a bear to pull offa Cassandra's recording. She may have had a Sarah Vaughn moment (Thanks for the memories...) and "created" the "whispering that you'll be returning when...". Or I just may be having a Jazzheimer's Moment (Where are my memories..)


"But sighing sighs,
holding hands,
These my heart understands..."

"But sighing sighs,

These my heart understands..."

The bridge or middle part to "I'm Old Fashioned"

I'm old fashioned I love the moonlight, I love the old fashioned things. The sound of rain upon my window pane, the starry song that April sings.
This years fancies are passing fancies, but sighing sighs and holding hands, these my heart understands.
I'm old fashioned, but I don't mind it. That's how I want to be, as long as you'll agree to stay old fashioned with me.!!!!!!!!!

Bring 'em on you MOTHERS!

It is ....I use it myself.....All this is Mine and Heaven Too!!!!!!
You give me your lips and your lips are so heavenly
Stars in the sky are all frre and they shine for me
So does the moon in the blue
All this is mine and heaven too.
You give me your arms, and your arms are like angels wings
Sweet to my ears is the song every bluebird sings
Each rosebud kissed by the dew, A T I M A H T.
I own each summer day, each mountain capped with snow.
I HAD TO LOOK THIS UP...... [the sentimental breeze, the dreamy streams that flow. Every country lane and every street of stone are highways of adventure made for me alone]
(back to my memory)
You give me your love and your love is a melody.
Deep in my heart I will carry this song with me
You bring a love so divine all this is mine and heaven too.

I was thinking...most people who i've heard quote this were trumpet players including Brownie.

Are you gonna penalize me for the part I could't remember?

Uh, no. You've prolly forgot more lyrics than I know.

Let it rain and thunder!
Let a million firms go under!
I am not concerned with
Stocks and bonds that I've been burned with.

I love you and you love me
And that's how it will always be,
And nothing else can ever mean a thing.


The next line of this verse contains the title....
(cue Jeopardy music)

Lambert, Hendricks and Ross! what an amazing thing to hear! Agreed that you can hear the difference between cannonball and 'trane. they to really capture the essence of the solos.

If this is another Jon Lyric, I don't consider this stuff STANDARD. I love them, but I haven't worked with alot of bands that do all the Jon lyrics....So I don't worry about knowing them. I worked with Eddie Jefferson on and off for years and I don't remember ALL his lyrics.
