stan kenton - chiapas lyrics

[intro]
you know, there’s a
young creative musician that’s led a band for a few years
and we all admire him greatly
and are watching very carefully the moves he makes
because we believe he is
one of the exciting sources of big band jazz in the future
i’m speaking of don ellis
we—
don ellis a number of years ago fell in love with experimental things
involving different time signaturеs
different subdivisions of rhythm and so forth
and to those of us that arе musicians, believe me
we have to admit that it’s a pretty complicated affair
but we are delighted this evening because we have with us
a composer that has walked arm+in+arm with don ellis all the way so far
and we have asked him to bring some of this music to us
we’re going to ask him to conduct it this evening
before we introduce the composition we’d like to introduce him
his name is hank levy from baltimore, maryland—hank
hank, i’ve heard don ellis try to explain
what goes on with some of this music many times
and it’s a, a pretty complicated affair
and, uh, it’s not good for my ego being a musician
to realize that i can’t understand what he’s talking about
so i won’t ask you to explain it
because you’re probably deeper into it than don
and you’d complicate things more
so, uh, ha ha ha!
this is an original composition of hank levy’s
uh, the title of which is “chiapas”
and if you enjoy it, we’ll give you an address
you can write him, to mr. levy, and he’ll explain what happened
“chiapas”—hank, go ahead
[instrumental]

[outro]
