Tubby Hayes Quintet I Believe In You |
For this item you need to be able to stop for ten minutes.
We are often moving on to the next job, the next meeting, scrolling down social media, taking the next call ......'Time Out Ten' asks you to stop for ten minutes and listen to a particular piece of music; to find a time when you won't be interrupted, when you can put in/on your headphones and chill out. Ten minutes isn't long.

So what are you doing today? Somewhere, someone is getting ready to make a presentation, give a talk, attend a meeting or speak to someone to make a point and feeling a bit unsure. Or perhaps you are simply a bit unsettled at the idea of doing something that should be quite straight forward but seems more of a challenge today.
In April, actor and Broadway star Robert Morse passed through the Departure Lounge. Some people might remember him from the TV series Mad Men, but for others he was always the young J. Pierrepont Finch, a window washer who rises to become chairman of the World Wide Wicket Co. in the Broadway show How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, for which he won a Tony Award for Best Actor. He reprised the role when the show was made into the 1967 movie.
Robert Morse
Here he is singing Frank Loesser's song in the movie.
You have the cool clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth
Yet there's that upturned chin and the grin of impetuous youth
I believe in you I believe in you
I hear the sound of good solid judgment whenever you talk
Yet there's that bold brave spring of the tiger that quickens your walk
I believe in you I believe in you
And when my faith in my fellow man all but falls apart
I've but to feel your hand grasping mine and I take heart
I take heart to see the cool clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth
Yet there's that slam bang tang reminiscent of gin and Vermouth
Now I believe in you, I believe in you.
There are a number of jazz interpretations of the song from Sinatra and Basie, to Bill Evans and Shelly Manne, Roland Kirk, Anita O'Day with Cal Tjader, Joe Pass ...... but I have chosen this version by Tubby Hayes' Quintet from 1963. The Quintet were Tubby Hayes (tenor sax and vibes), Jimmy Deuchar (trumpet); Gordon Beck (piano); Freddy Logan (bass) and Allan Ganley (drums).
The track is quite short, but there's the sound of good solid judgement ......
Take ten minutes out and listen to them playing I Believe In You.
