The Tenorman Had It

This one goes out to the Trio boys:

"The behatted tenorman was blowing at the peak of a wonderfully satisfactory free idea, a rising and falling riff that went from 'EE-yah!' to a crazier 'EE-de-le-yah!' and blasted along to the rolling crash of butt-scarred drums hammered by a brutal Negro with a bullneck who didn't give a damn about anything but punishing his busted tubs, crash, rattle-ti-boom, crash. Uproars of music and the tenorman had it and everyone knew he had it."
