On tonight’s segment of The Shed Show with the Jazz Cat, approximately the first 80 minutes of the show are comprised of up-beat, groovy tunes of the early 2000s, current time, and of course, King Miles Davis, our forefather in paving the way for contemporary jazz. The last 40 minutes of the show fade into smoother, solo-heavy, tenor saxophone-heavy contemporary tracks.
Jazz Slang of the Night
1. Birdbrain: A Charlie Parker imitator; “It’s 1957 already. We need something new. I’m gettin’ tired of all of the ‘Birdbrains’ around these days…”
2. Rusty Gate: Someone who can’t play; “That cat swings like a rusty gate.”
3. Swing: to get a rocking or swaying beat; “Ellington’s band ‘swings’ like no other. It’s elegant.”
