SPRING CAN REALLY HANG
YOU UP THE MOST

(With apologies to Landesman and Wolf)

Let’s face it, Spring is a really rough time of year…..hot and bright one day, blustery and bitter cold the next. Fat drops of rain, messin’ with your ‘do. Killer hay fever and allergies that knock you off your feet. People walking around wearing funny blue masks, moving aimlessly like extras from some lost zombie movie. Giant puddles on the ground, just waiting to seep into your Gucci loafers. Ugly spatters of mud sprayed up and down the sides of your Bentley. And the marina owner in Greenwich just called; your yacht needs a brand new motor… Ka-ching. Bad stuff, really bad. Spring just plain sucks.

But there’s hope. There is jazz. Jazz is like a warm security blanket that makes all your problems disappear. It wraps around your soul, it nurtures and invigorates, it makes you hip…. and happy. So when you hear Steve Davis playing slide trombone on a ballad, when you hear Dezron Douglas walkin’ a tight bass line, when you hear Nelson Bello drumming out Tumbao rhythms on his congas, you just know that all will be right and good in the world again.
