She had that
Camarillo brillo
Flamin' out along her head
I mean her Mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red
She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest
And every newt in Idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in Buffalo
She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(I couldn't come in right then . . . )

And so she wandered
Through the doorway
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An' I'd just love it in her room
Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
She stripped away
Her rancid poncho
An' laid out naked by the door
We did it till we were un-concho
An' it was useless any more
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(actually, I was very busy then)

And so she wandered
Through the doorway
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An' I'd just love it in her room
Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
(Is that a real poncho . . . I mean
Is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
Hmmm . . . no foolin' . . . )


Songwriters: Frank Vincent Zappa

Svend Asmussen's 5tet [1942] - Cheek to Cheek



MC0yMzYyLmpwZWc.jpeg


Svend Asmussen (1916 – 2017) was a Danish jazz violinist, known as "The Fiddling Viking." A Swing style virtuoso, he played and recorded with many of the other jazz musicians, including Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Stephane Grappelli. He played publicly until 2010, his career having spanned eight decades.

Early in his career Asmussen worked in Denmark and on cruise ships, with artists such as Josephine Baker and Fats Waller. Asmussen later was greatly influenced by Stuff Smith, whom he met in Denmark. Asmussen played with Valdemar Eiberg and Kjeld Bonfils during World War II, during which time jazz had moved to the underground and served as a form of political protest.​

Miles Davis [1958] - On Green Dolphin Street

John Coltrane (ts)
Bill Evans (p)
Paul Chambers (b)
Jimmy Cobb (d)

When Miles took his new sextet into the studio, he chose a repertoire of standards mainly comprised of muted tones, ballads and medium tempos and, at least in the introductions, the softness of brushes. Only “On Green Dolphin Street,” “Fran-Dance” (in tribute to Miles’ future wife, the dancer Frances Taylor) and “Stella By Starlight” were released at the time, on Jazz Track, along with the music for Lift To The Scaffold. In 1974, under the title 1958 Miles they were combined with “Love For Sale,” which revealed a much less introverted Bill Evans.​
