Yesterdays New Quintet - The Birth of YNQ lyrics

And Anthony was into this other music And it just really spoke to me And I started hearing musicians like Bud Powell and uh Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis And boy that was, that was it And uh, and I would recommend That if somebody's really serious about music, to study But I was hungrier and hungrier to get into some new sounds And uh, the first electronic instrument, keyboard instrument I ran across Got a lot of electronic pianos around The one I particularly like is the Fender Roads electric piano Then there's the electric clavinet It's really like an electric clavicord And it has strings And it has little rubber hammers that hit the string when you press the key down Like this I think that's sort of the most guitar like The clavinet sound, when it has that wah-wah thing going Then there's other kinds of things you can do To a signal source to alter the sounds Then I got into the wah-wah peddles Here's how the wah-wah sounds on the clavinet The last keyboard instrument that I got into Is not truly a keyboard instrument Its a small synthesizer There's a whole universe of sounds with this And this is not representative Its just one of a trillion sounds you could get And off from ground zero With no preconceived ideas of what we're going to play Either rhythmically, or melodically, or harmonically We don't know what's going to emerge from moment to moment And there's no real leader of this kind of music The focus shifts Sometimes the music is coming right from the center of the room Somehow through us, and we're just the vehicles for it It can go any direction Where we begin from somepoint And emerge out of that explosion Into some kind of walking jazz time That's something that we like to do Ok?
