H-E-L-L-O-hello These are the words Columbia refused to record in '59. If anyone wanted to know.

This great tune was once in our ensemble repertoire when i was studying music at university. I was playing the bass. Almost 10 years has gone already. And, yes, i miss those days..

Does anyone know the changes at the solo section? I googled it, but I'm not quite sure it was right...

My father, Jimmy Knepper, is the trombonist on this album. He also wrote lyrics to this tune, many years later.

Is there a influence of Bossa Nova here?
