Dig What I Say

Say, dig what I say Talkin’ bout a new jazz vibe/ Man, move over/ the Jazz Cookers are hittin’ their stride in the groove to stay alive/ Eddie Henderson/ Cecil McBee/ George Cables,Billy Hart and Billy Harper/ swingin’ harder jazz be flying/ downbeat, upbeat, man, count It off/ their soul auras are in the jazz notes they play/ David Weiss and Donald Harrison are fryin’ their amps/ burnin’ the house down/ with the jazz club scene in decline/ and record labels cuttin’ back on jazz/ the jazz Cookers have to stay alive and relevant in a jazz-changing world/ so dig, be cool struttin’ as Sonny Clark would say/ you might not always get a payday but you love to play/ the Cookers boss horns are on fire/ hip tones blowin' from the stage/bro, this is the jazz life you chose and after a gig, you might be all alone/ so be in the moment and improvise on your jazz note phrasing/ you’ll find the rhythm and meaning knowing you can play the same note gig after gig night after night/ but different every time/ are you hip to the Cookers?/ they will have you finger poppin’ and blowin' your mind/ wahoo that’s a whole lotta jazz
