Now we're rocking bouncing....!

Perhaps a familiar one:

"Billie's Bounce" (also known as "Bill's Bounce") is a jazz composition written in 1945 by Charlie Parker in the form of a 12 bar F blues. Some sources claim that the song was dedicated to Dizzy Gillespie's agent, Billy Shaw, although according to Ross Russell, Shaw's "name was misspelled" accidentally. However, others claim that the song was in fact dedicated to Shaw's secretary, who was called Billie. The original recording by Charlie Parker and His Re-Boppers was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002.

Originally an instrumental, lyrics were added later by Jon Hendricks and by Eddie Jefferson

I'd assumed for years it was a tribute to Billie Holiday

Before I forget, here is my Keith Jarrett tale again (last heard in 2020):

Five years ago next month (seven years in 2022), a true friend of mine announced one afternoon that she had just scored a couple of tickets for us to go and see Keith Jarrett that evening. She warned me that these were partial-viewing seats, which was fine with me - just to be in the same room as the man while he did his thing was enough for me, however far away or obscured my view.

In fact, the seats were immediately behind the piano, facing the rest of the audience. And the performer. I assume they were released on the day because KJ had to give his permission to have people so close to him as he played. He was about twenty feet or less from me, the only time I could not see him was if he dipped his head to the keyboard. And not only could I see him clearly, he could also see me.

This caused an unexpected problem - I was coming straight from a day's work, and was terrified that while concentrating on the music I might suddenly dose off. Given KJ's reputation, I was mortally afraid that I would get immersed in a piece and wake up to see a furious Keith Jarrett looking up at me from a few feet having left his piano stool to come over and ask me 'Am I disturbing your sleep, Sir?' while behind him an entire audience stared in horror at us.

I gave my friend explicit instructions to dig me in the ribs if she saw me dozing off, which fortunately did not happen.

It was a tremendous show, and KJ did his trademark storming off stage during the second set because someone risked taking a photograph, but he came back eventually.

Fantastic seats - more enhanced than partial viewing!

Jarrett joined the Charles Lloyd Quartet in '66, his first link up with DeJohnette who had recommended him to Lloyd after seeing Jarrett with Art Blakey.
