(VERSE) Yes he's long Yes he's tall But when he's gone that don't mean much at all On his trip to Paris he forgot his lips Now they'll have to send them back so we can kiss In my dreams Alone in bed I picture that I'm sewing thread To keep his head on straight While I stay here and wait (CHORUS) I miss my long tall disconnected papa He's eyes aren't lookin at me I know that he's my baby blue eyed papa He might as well be in the sea And when he done go away I don't know where his body stays He's always walking without his feet His arms are on straight but his hands are free My long tall disconnected papa Look what he's doing to me He's always smiling when I'm feeling sad I ain't crying though I know it's bad My long tall disconnected papa Sure's estranged to me (Instrumental) My long tall disconnected papa Look what he's doing to me I ain't crying though I know it's bad He's the best baby that I ever had My long tall disconnected papa Sure's estranged to me

about

Saxophonist, clarinetist, vocalist, and composer Evan Arntzen has been dreaming about making an album with trumpet great Jon-Erik Kellso for years. It’s finally happened! Through straight-ahead, swing, blues, and New Orleans-style jazz, Jazz Crush highlights the relationship between the clarinet/saxophone and the trumpet, backed by various combinations of New York's finest swinging players.

Since moving to New York, Arntzen and Kellso have worked together in Grammy nominated Catherine Russell’s band, Grammy award winning Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks (Boardwalk Empire soundtrack), and Kellso’s EarRegulars. Now, spurred on by Producer/Instigator Scout Opatut of 4/4 Creative, they’re using their mutual admiration as the catalyst and centerpiece of this exciting new project.

Opatut says, "Think of some of the great 'jazz crushes' throughout history: King Oliver and Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke and Frankie Trumbauer, Billie Holiday and Lester Young, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, Jelly Roll Morton and himself... Imagine if these artists never had the opportunity to showcase their special musical bond for us to enjoy for ages to come.”

Please enjoy the music on JAZZ CRUSH!
