Turnabout was so named by Benny Carter because in it he reversed a couple of Basie's typical lines. It is an up-tempo romp in which first Budd Johnson and then Frank Foster takes an exciting tenor chorus. In a shared third chorus, they have eight bars each before joining forces. Then it is Al Aaron again in an agile and confident flight of thirty-two bars. Basie and Henry Coker briefly illumine the well-planned routine which follows. The saxes, who have play so brilliantly throughout, are heard to special advantage in this number. Benny Carter's writing for reed is always supremely skilled and the five-piece section does it full justice.

Dancin' to the beat that's on the street
Kickin' to the beat with happy feet
One two three four, go for some more
Five six seven eight
Jump in the air and gravitate
Dancin' to the beat with happy feet
Ya' jus' dance to the music
Ya hold back 'n ya lose it
To groove to the beat
Jus' follow your happy feet
Then ya' tap to the rhythm
And make the decis'n
To open your heart 'n follow
Your Happy feet
all day all night -- Feet never stop ya'
All they'll say is -- Bop 'til we drop ya'
Keep rockin' in rhythm
High step then, ya spin 'em
Get up from your seat 'n follow
Your happy feet
Can't stay mad
When feet are romancin'
Keep world peace
By keepin' 'em dancin'
When you're jumpin' 'n jivin'
You got to be smillin'
Get up from your seat 'n follow
Your happy feet
Jus' kick to the music
Hold back 'n ya lose it
Groove on to the beat 'n follow your happy feet
Then ya tap to the rhythm
And make the decis'n
To open your heart 'n follow
Your happy feet
All day all night -- Feet never stop ya'
All they'll say is -- Bop 'til we drop ya'
What a stumble
Happy tumbling in love with you
You're a wonder
And a spell that I fell under too
Every time I lose a smile
think of you and I'm beguiled
Fate has finally forced my hand
Stranded me in wonderland
I fell faster for you
After you just said hello
Now and after, only laughter
Your love's all I know
Knowing love will make you smile
And change your style
It's wonderland with you
On love's romantic isle
You're a fantasy
That landed me in happiness
Everywhere, you're always there
I never see the rest
Only you in wonderland
Silly grin the master play
I am love's most happy fan
Everything is so damn grand
What a stumble
Happy tumbling in love with you
You're a wonder and a spell
And I fell under you
Every time I lose a smile
You change my style
It's wonderland with you
On love's romantic
Happy castaways with hearts gigantic
Wonderland with you
On love's romantic isle

I'm blue without you
Call me my baby, after all
Really love your smile
Don't keep me hangin'
My heart's a-bangin' for you, babe
Won't you stay awhile
I'll make your passion ring ding-a-ling
A-swingin' ringtone
That your heart can sing
Pick up your text and text me the rest
Because I just got to know you're there
I'm callin' you from here
Need you near
I need to know just how much you care
I gotta hear your ring ding-a-ling
Cause it's a real doozy blues to sing
Just don't hang up, don't hang up
Movin' on to a better spot
I can't hear ya, can't get through
Are you gonna be mine or not?
I never slumber - I got your number
Baby, you are the one for me
I can't be quiet, this ring's a riot
Cause it sings only harmony
I'm blue without your ring ding-a-ling
And it's a real doozy blues to sing
ライナー・ノーツより
DeepL に突っ込んだのですが、DeepLにとっては、かなりの無理があります。
I'm blue without you
マイベイビーと呼んでくれ、結局
あなたの笑顔が本当に好き
私を引き留めないで
私の心はあなたのためにバンギンです、ベイビー
しばらくいてくれないか
君の情熱が鳴り響くようだ
A-swingin' ringtone
あなたのハートが歌える
この曲はベニー・カーターの85歳の誕生日を記念して作られたアルバム Harlem Renaissance (1992) に収録されている Harlem Renaissance Suite (ハーレム・ルネッサンス組曲)の中の1つです
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_Renaissance_(album)
I don't mind when I'm feelin' blue
I don't mind troubles I'm goin' through
I wait to be set free
Always patiently
Sunday Morning comes
And rescue me
Don't care what a new day may bring
As long as I've got one single thing
My one day break from time
Work and all the grind
Sunday morning comes
Easing my weary mind
Breakfast in bed at noon time
With you in my arms
A lazy stroll - no worry - no hurry
It's Sunday - that' its charm
I know that all my dreams
Will come true
Cause every night I'm here loving you
So bring on Monday blues
Your love pulls me through
Sunday morning comes each moment
I'm with you
Sunday morning comes whenever I'm with you
この曲は Harlem Renaissance Suite の中の "Sugar Hill Slow Drag" という曲なのですが、デボラ・パールが曲名を "Scattin' Back to Harlem" に変えています。
ブルース調のなかなか洒落た曲ですね。
Sugar Hill's in Harlem
Where all the swingin' cats play
Scattin' back to Harlem
The music blows you away
Harlem's callin'
Go there and you'll wanna stay
Follow me to Harlem
Get out your horn and let's blow
Find your heart in Harlem
The one inside you don't know
Music's in you
It blows your mind
Time to blow, man, blow
Anywhere is Harlem
It's just a cool state of mind
Everywhere is Harlem
Tunes are the ties that will bind
Harlem's in you
And you can go any time
Harlem's in you
Music's in you
Hear it -- ba dooba da dweeya dootin
do'ey bow
And you can go anytime

Again and Again, seemed to express his longing for Hilma During their many years apart....
とあります。
なかなか美しいバラードですね。
Again and again I try to pretend
And I ask myself when
Your memories will end
In other arms
The morning still whispers your name
Again and again
I just pray I can find
Some antidote to you
Stop haunting my mind
And set my heart free
You're a story with no happy ending
Do you even remember me?
Each song life sings never falls
to bring you right back to me
Winter fall and spring
Are like a summer fling
On the wings of a phoenix
That won't fly away
Again and again I leave you behind
Only to find -- each corner is you
A sublime and cruel kind of rapture
Captures me all over again...
And again and again
Each song I sing never fails
To bring you right back to me
Are like a summer fling
On the wings of a phoenix
That will not fly away
Again and again I leave you behind
Only to find -- each moment is you
A sublime and cruel kind of rapture
Captures me all over again
Truth be told
I'd give the world to hold you...again
I've got a reeal bad case of sorrow
If you were here you'd be surprised
We'd drink like there was no tomorrow
Cause losing love
Has put these tears in my eyes
You'd raise your glass and say
Be sad another day
Play me an elegy in blue
I'm inconsolable without love
Need to commiserate real bad
Converse on things
You'd talk me out of
You'd smile and say
"What good is good without bad?"
I need your crazy way
To chase these blues away
Play me an elegy in blue
But sometimes life throws a curve
Some you keep trying to duck
Some you can't win, it's fate or luck
I feel so lost and marooned
Now that I know you're not here
I wanna fly straight to my doom
Too see you
I'm inconsolable without you
Need to commiserate, my friend
You'd do whatever I would ask you
Forgot to ask you not to die in the end
No good in this bad news
The love I lost is you
Play me an elegy in blue
I've got a real bad case of sorrow
That only you would understand
I'll drink like there is no tomorrow
You'd raise your glass
And say, "Just carry on, man"
Can't fight it any way
Gonna be sad today
Play me an elegy in blue
So here's to you my friend
We love until the end
Play me an elegy in blue
Swing it high, swing it low, off we go
Dancing in the sky,forever high
Jus' close your eyes and realize
That love puts wings on your shoes
In a sky dance for two
Anywhere, you are there
Can't compare
Waltzin' near the sun, for anyone
Is so much fun, who grabs their hon
When love puts wings on your shoes
Say bye bye the blues
Love delivers welcome shivers
I'm a shooting star
I see your face then know my place
Is just where you are
Everyone's fantasy jubilee
Dancing in the sky above the trees
We're flying free, just you and me
It must be wings on our shoes
Gotta sing out the news
Sun will shine, grapes make wine
You are mine
Dancing in the sky, forever high
Jus' close your eyes and realize
That love puts wings on your shoes
I just love loving you
In a sky dance for two
Bye-bye blues...
Love comes and goes
Of those, I still remember you
Pulling me through all of those years
Of tears and laughter
A treasure forever to me
Gone and yet magically
Touching me, lovingly with your song
Your inspiration
Notes of pure elation
Rhythm and rhyme, one of a kind
End of the line
Now guardian at heaven's door
Leaving me wanting more
Still hear your joy come through
Your song sung happy or blue
It stays forever here
A souvenir of you
It's old lang syne
It's time to let you go, I know
On with the show
We must face the music, my friend
It's all that's left in the end
Time takes our verses away
But melodies live on
Forever playing your song
At heaven's door
And here, a souvenir of you
