intro - stan kenton lyrics

[intro]
we’re here at redlands university
in redlands, in the southern part of california
and i might say that we’re here every year
because this is where we meet to talk over the problems of jazz
to study jazz, to try to learn more about it
we have a very select audience here this evening because
the audience is made up of musicians, music educators
young people that are trying to learn about what’s going on in jazz
and we, who are a bit older
trying to learn about what’s going on with young people
before we start the first music going
i used to have some kind of unusual ideas when we’d present a show
i felt like, you know, i guess i learned it in hollywood
you gotta get the show on the road, you know?
so you, you run out and give a downbeat
and usually the band would belch forth with a huge sound
and we would start things going and terrify half the people in the audience
you know, we’re gonna assume that collectively
you, the audience, is a beautiful woman
and we’re going to go about the process of making love
in a very easy, quiet manner
so, stay with us
