He grew into an icon for "Word Jazz" or "Out-Of-The-Box" Jazz...inextricably Ken Nordine, my ol' Buddy!

Jazz...Word Jazz with Ken...or, backing up Lennie Bruce at "The Patio", in Miami Beach...
Some very "heavy" memories, if I go back to the 50's Sheik of Arabia Mania...god knows what else
were on the minds of these jazz musicianscats....and of course, Ken and GDaddy kept up with "the scene!

Thru the jazz clubs of Chicago, listening to Coltrane, Lester Young, Johnny Smith, Lou Rauls, Horace Silver,
James Moody...and King Pleasures vocal on Jimmy Jefferson's lyrics to Moody's I'm in the mood for love
live baby...LIVE! In my musical heart of hearts, during the 50's...before "The Rock Invasion", I knew
I was the luckiest "cat" alive!

Anyway, James, you can come in now...if..youl..want...to...
The original, by King Pleasure and Blossom Dearie on Prestige...watch that lil 78 spin round and round...
