[00:34.633]Good God Almighty, like back in the old days
[00:36.989]You know
[00:37.147]years ago they had the A&R men
[00:39.364]To tell you what to play, how to play it
[00:41.344]And you know, whether it's disco or rock
[00:44.043]But we just told Bruce that we wanted to straighten that jazz out
[00:47.016]And so we got the fellas together
[00:49.019]Grady Tate, Ron Carter, George Benson, Stanley Turrentine
[00:53.698]Stanley was coming off a cool jazz festival
[00:55.947]Ron was coming off a cool jazz festival
[00:58.373]And we just went in the studio and we did it
[01:02.436]We had the champagne in the studio, of course
[01:03.634]You know, compliments of the company
[01:06.539]And we just laid back and did it
[01:08.276]Also, Grady Tate's wife brought us down some home cooked chicken
[01:12.305]And we just laid back and we was chomping on chicken and having a ball
[01:16.194]Jazz is the only real music that's gonna last
[01:18.400]All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow
[01:22.484]But jazz was, is and always will be
[01:26.586]We may not do this sort of recording again
[01:29.035]And I may not get with the fellas again
[01:31.733]George, Ron, Grady Tate, Stanley Turrentine
[01:36.133]So we hope you enjoy listening to this album half
[01:38.612]as much as we enjoyed playing it for you
[01:41.442]Because we had a ball
[01:44.449]……

Good God Almighty, like back in the old days

Jazz is the only real music that's gonna last
All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow
But jazz was, is and always will be
We may not do this sort of recording again
And I may not get with the fellas again
George, Ron, Grady Tate, Stanley Turrentine
So we hope you enjoy listening to this album half
as much as we enjoyed playing it for you
Because we had a ball
