Misty night Summer night East River New York City night You hear that Hear what That THAT Somebody’s playing the saxophone So what
So that’s Sonny Rollins that’s what Wait WHAT That’s Sonny Rollins The Sonny Rollins What the heck is Sonny Rollins doing on the Williamsburg Bridge Nobody knows man Nobody knows Cept Sonny and He Ain’t Sayin this time of night
FIRST Set Born right place right time 137th Street New York City Harlem Renaissance 1930 Sweet sounds of swing jazz swirl in the air Sir Duke’s satin melodies That’s Duke Ellington for you younger cats
Lady Ella singing scat That’s Ella Fitzgerald if you didn’t know that Count Basie and Glenn Miller in the mood with their jukebox and radio tunes But nothing beats stompin at the Savoy live The fox-trot Lindy Hop mambo and jive Big band swing will never die
