THE TUNES:
The opening track, Q SCHOOL is a reference to the grueling qualifying tournament that many PGA Tour professionals try to complete at the end of the season in order to keep their jobs for another year.
A popular spot to visit in beautiful Kenora, Ontario, NORMAN PARK was written for a friend and colleague, Mel King, former horn player with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, who worked and vacations there.
AU CHIEN QUI FUME is a great restaurant in Paris, a poster from which hangs in another popular eatery in Winnipeg, Canada. This tune is a simple cycle which tries to disguise the fact that it presents a melody in two different keys.
DINNER AT PHIL’S is named for a mysterious establishment in Banff National Park that may or may not be owned by Phil Collins while TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION (TTC), is a tribute to the daily struggle of musician commuters on TO subway trains.
Since hearing the elegant Michael Brecker solo on an unnamed pop singer’s version of this tune, GEORGIA ON MY MIND has been one of my favorite standards. This reharmonization involves keeping the melody in F and assigning new qualities to the chord roots transposed to E-flat.
TABLE 51 was named for my friend and former graduate school classmate, saxophonist Eric Allen, and our almost daily pilgrimage to a local restaurant in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
The title DR. PEPPER BELT BUCKLE is from a routine performed by the late Mitch Hedberg, brilliantly original and one of my favorite comedians.
BONO IN THE TEMPLE In 2004, U2’s Bono was presented the Freedom Award, for his humanitarian efforts, by the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. During the ceremony, held in a Memphis megachurch, Bono joked about his fear of divine retaliation for being a rock star in a building called the Temple of Deliverance.
