Cool Jazz
About
A haunting cool jazz lament with soulful male vocals gliding over syncopated double bass lines and a laid-back swing groove, punctuated by improvisational scat solos that bend blue notes into poignant cries of lost love. Complex chord progressions unfold beneath intimate piano whispers and subtle saxophone sighs, evoking shadows dancing in a dimly lit club. Trading fours between voice and rhythm section infuse playful polyrhythms into the melancholic introspection, fading into dawn's hopeful release.
Lyrics
Woke up this morning, my baby was gone Woke up this morning, my baby was gone Left me here crying from dusk until dawn River keeps rolling, but I can't cross over River keeps rolling, but I can't cross over Heart full of sorrow, but I can't cross over Heart full of sorrow, heavy like stone Dust on my boots from a thousand cold miles Dust on my boots from a thousand cold miles Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day Dreams turn to whispers in the day
