paroles de chanson Introduction (Live at Princeton, 1973) - Benny Carter

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen
We're very, very happy to be here with you tonight
And I've got some great people here, as you can well see
And I'd like to introduce them all to you
I think you should know them by name
And you certainly do, I'm sure, but you should know them on site

Starting on my right here on the baritone saxophone, George Barrow
On the tenor saxophone, Belimitch
On the alto saxophone, George Dawsey
And on the alto saxophone, and flute, Jerry Dodger

And if you don't believe the red coats are coming, meet Bud Johnson
At the keyboard, Roland Hannah
And just behind Roland, or in front of him
Considering the way he's facing, Wally Richardson on guitar
Major Holly, double bass
At the drums, Moussey Alexander
And the other member of the rhythm section, the conga drum, Ray Barretto

On the trumpet, nearest to me, John Faddis
Ernie Royle
Victor Paz
John Newman, John Newman
On the fourth and bass trombone, Quentin Jackson

Quentin is known to his intimates as butter
And I guess, speaking of intimates
He and I are the most intimates since we played together
With McKinney's Cotton Pickers in 1931

Dicky Harrison, trombone
Jimmy Nepper, trombone
Last and certainly not least, Eddie Burt
Thank you very much
