Fish, singing: 'I'm a sole man..'

Rap music

Chano Pozo,

"The last time I heard a beat like this I was at a Grateful Dead concert."

'Your wife has given birth to the blues.'

See, Catty-O? I told you dinner was included with admission.

Six jazz instruments.

Quartet.

"Oh, yes - BEAUTIFUL singer he was - but could he snap his fingers. . ?"

Yo! Emmett Kelly raps! (with ringmaster flash)

Fish, singing: 'I'm a sole man..'

"You know you're getting old when..."

"'Fried Ham' on 3..."

Guitarist: 'We can freely improvise some other time ... now let's practise.' (With Derek it was always jam tomorrow)

"The boogie woogie bugle cat of Company B"

Louis Armstrong.

'That was Charlie Parker's 'Ornithology.' I threw in a flat nine in bar 16 and a tritone substitution in bar 22. Who noticed that? Hands up if you noticed!'

"I'm astounded that your dog is channeling Eubie Blake! Has he never heard of Elton John?"

Jerry Garcia, RIP

'Could you guys play a slow number so my gal and I can dance?'

I play the guitar. Deal with it.

"If I had it all to do over again, I would have liked to be the King of Swing."

Gangsta wrap.

Adding people with a background in music has made the team better. The new hitting coach is just like clarinet player Benny Goodman. Benny Goodman was "The King of Swing"! Nobody is better with that instrument than this guy. That's why he's playing first bass! The rock star with bat cleanup for the team. He'll have some big hits this year! And the opera singer will be the new ace on the mound. Thanks to the perfect pitch!

"Yo, I'm Scrapper the Rapper, shelters are cool, but I'm no fool -- the dream in my head, is to sleep on your bed. Adopt now!"

Dave Brubeck

Hip hop Santa.

"The woman who ordered the poulet chasseur would like to come in and rap about it."

'Let's give it a whirl. Swing is back!'

Rap-Nav.
