about

Groovy thriving hip-hop in-the-cloud beats with a Hendrix-like bass line, sounds of people talking and invitational background spoken words by poet Ghasem Batamuntu over Saskia's muted-Miles horn improvisation; this song's sounds give the impression to be at a large, classy venue where the host is kindly inviting the audience to enjoy the event, sit back, relax and/or participate with the music. The track's groove builds up towards a kicking sax solo that brings a story with such fire and intensity that only tenor master Hans Dulfer can provide. "IF YE GET IT YE GOT IT!".

lyrics

(Ghasem:)
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
Ah welcome to other scenes of
Body, mind and music
We're here for being together for
The jazz concert so
For those of you who aren't prepared
You are you are in for a musical activity
Jazz music that has it's university
Something that came with it
And something to inform you,
That is, it's black music
So a mondial entity
No more than anything
You just get here, and your kids too
You are more than welcome
You know what I mean
There is different casts
You can have a lot of influence
Say what's up by clap your hands
Stomp your feet

If you get it ye got it, clap your hands

Ah we have quite a few projects
For you here
People from far far distance
That will allow on the horizon
And there is many of them

Clap your hands, stomp your feet,
You're in for the music
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
You're in

Clap your hands, stomp your feet
You're in
You know shaky your money maker
Ah shake your money shaker
Ah shake your money breaker
As long as you ain't fakin'
What you'll be hearing will be about music
