Goodbye Pork Pie Hat

출근길 랜덤 재생은 이따금씩 예기치 못한 기쁨을 가져다 준다. 밍거스 아-움- 앨범의 Goodbye Pork Pie Hat 이 신도림 역과 이뤘던 오묘한 조화처럼!!

올뮤직에서 찾아보니,

"Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" is a slow, graceful elegy for Lester Young, who died not long before the sessions.

노래 버전이 궁금했다.

words by Joni Mitchell
music by Charles Mingus

When Charlie speaks of Lester
You know someone great has gone
The sweetest swinging music man
Had a Porkie Pig hat on
A bright star
In a dark age
When the bandstands had a thousand ways
Of refusing a black man admission
Black musician
In those days they put him in an
Underdog position
Cellars and chittlins'

When Lester took him a wife
Arm and arm went black and white
And some saw red
And drove them from their hotel bed
Love is never easy
It's short of the hope we have for happiness
Bright and sweet
Love is never easy street!
Now we are black and white
Embracing out in the lunatic New York night
It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town
Or be hung in a tree
That's unlikely!

Tonight these crowds
Are happy and loud
Children are up dancing in the streets
In the sticky middle of the night
Summer serenade
Of taxi horns and fun arcades
Where right or wrong
Under neon
Every feeling goes on!
For you and me
The sidewalk is a history book
And a circus
Dangerous clowns
Balancing dreadful and wonderful perceptions
They have been handed
Day by day
Generations on down

We came up from the subway
On the music midnight makes
To Charlie's bass and Lester's saxophone
In taxi horns and brakes
Now Charlie's down in Mexico
With the healers
So the sidewalk leads us with music
To two little dancers
Dancing outside a black bar
There's a sign up on the awning
It says "Pork Pie Hat Bar"
And there's black babies dancing...
Tonight!

정말이지 아름다운 애가라고 하지 않을 수 없다.
그리고 그 구절 하나하나에 악기로 대답하는 듯한 연주자들.

밍거스 버전을 들으면서 악보를 적어보았다.

1마디의 Ⅰ7,
5마디의 Ⅳm7,
9마디 3박의 Ⅳ7,10마디의 Ⅴ7,
11마디의 Ⅰ7 

12마디 블루스의 진행을 토대로 쓴 것 같긴한데... 

자기 전에 밍거스 아저씨를 생각하면서 한시간쯤 여러 키로 쳐보면 밍거스 아저씨가 꿈에 나와서 이 곡은 이렇게 이렇게 쓴 곡이라고 알려줄 것 같다. 시도해봐야지.
