about

...And Billie, and Sonny.

A song about jazz lineage and my futile quest to be in any way worthy of playing music and the bass clarinet after hearing the undisputed master, Eric Dolphy.

from Not Listening, released June 1, 2014
The song is of course the jazz standard written by Billie Holiday and Arthur Herzog, Jr.
My version is based on Eric Dolphy's solo bass clarinet interpretation, which he often played live and can be heard on the albums "The Illinois Concert" (Blue Note 1999, recorded 1963). and "Here And There" (Prestige 1961)
