Harry Houser liked to niggle
About things big and little.
Nothing in his sight
Was ever quite right.
Thus he made others squiggle.
The music exploded
Into a thousand heartbeats.
We glided down rainbows of organ
Melodies, becoming drenched
In the golden light of twin
Saxophones.
We played on the trampolin of
The drummer's beat.

Let The Music Play
Allen Houser On Trumpet
Gabriel heard the note and
put his horn away,
shamed before the angels
by some earthling whose music
made Alice forget why she was
in wonderland
and the
Sun
Moon
and
Stars
dance together
and that
Is
Heavy!
The Joe Clarke Trio Plus 1
Michael Smith On Drums
We gonna march
While
You
Play!
It's not marching music
But
We gonna march
anyway!
Phil Harris on Bass
My bass man
walked a thousand miles tonight
carrying 200 people on his back,
his fingers doing the walking and
he's not even listed in the yellow pages
under
Genius
Or
Prophet...
Incompetence
Every place you go!
Joe Clark
His saxophone rippling,
notes dance and scatter...
We cup them in the pockets
of our hearts,
Applaud and
send them home
To
Heaven!
Baltimore, Maryland
