ODE TO PRES
Clark Terry - music
Les Harris, Jr - lyrics
Went to the club to hear Count Basie’s band.
Kansas City, this town is really a gas.
Heard that it was the best band in land.
That is no lie, you dig the Count Basie band
Started to wail when Pres stepped onto the stand.
Never forget the sound made by that great man.
Dig Lester Young the Pres of tenor sax
Hear the records, Listen to all of the tracks.
He was the best of all who played that axe.
Lester changed the sound, on the tenor sax.
He moved the sound ahead, and never looked back.
