There's something magic in your eyes Something magic in the night When the magic king arrives Everybody seems to be alright Long parade in New Orleans Mardi Grass is on my dreams When I'm stomping I feel fine When I'm stomping at the sky I never thought I would be here Nevermind black, white, creole When they're playing all together in the street And the trombone stops the time before the final end... Something magic in your eyes you can spread

Old Rev was in the pulpit His face was all a glow Until he spied collections On the table below The plates were almost empty He couldn’t stand the shock So this is what he shouted That made the whole church rock Yes It’s better to give than to receive… Don’t you know that he that gives Up above some day shall live It’s better to give than to receive Now I’ve been sacrificing Helping you see the light But look at this collection I ain’t been treated right So get it up and drop it in We’re on the brink of ruin Let’s dig down deep I’m waiting And I’ve got more time in brewin’ (Chorus) Can’t I help you see the light? Everything’s gonna be alright! It’s better to give than to receive If you can’t share your gold How can I help save your soul? It’s better to give…

I wanna 02:58
You were my twin, my sister, my love But don't get me wrong If I couldn't stand your fake charm After you've gone, things were going on I could start my plan of becoming the best in the world I wanna be a girl like you I wanna be as good as you When I'm on when I'm on the top of the stage I wanna sing the way you sing I don't like the way you spoil my dreams When I'm on when I'm on the top of the stage If everybody needs somebody what do you need to show me? And if you want to show me something now I only have to tell you here I am here I am, Here I am... I wanna dance the way you dance When dancing upon these stars When I'm on the top of the stage

Them that's got shall get Them that's not shall lose So the Bible said and it still is news Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Yes, the strong gets more While the weaks ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Money, you've got lots of friends Crowding round your door When you're gone, spending ends They don't come no more Rich relations give Crust of bread and such You can help yourself But don't take too much Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own

Starlight 03:11
I'm sitting here alone Gonna leave all my thougths fly away Should I think of you or should I look at this pretty sunset Here comes starlight I can't help falling in love By starlight each gleam is a heart beating on Gonna close my eyes Gonna let the sky kiss my face I don't mind the world It's just me and the moon, nothing else Down starlight you can dream what you want By starlight love is a shooting star And the night breeze whispers smooth lullabies in my ears And the city lights touch my soul as their beams shine on me By starlight two young lovers in flame By starlight wondering if they'll meet again

about

‘Magic King Stomp’ es la celebración del jazz, la vuelta al bullicio de las calles de Nueva Orleans, un viaje al pasado, pero no para recrearlo tal cuál era, sino más bien para recordarlo y actualizarlo: captar su espíritu, ahondar en su esencia y homenajearlo desde el presente, con respeto y admiración.

El tema que da título al EP es una composición propia que rememora el sonido de los pioneros de Nueva Orleans como Jelly Roll Morton o el maestro Joe King Oliver –quien inspira la canción- y su Creole Jazz Band. Está basada en un stomp, ritmo autóctono de la ciudad que vio nacer el jazz, donde la tradición de bandas militares, brass bands, desfiles de carnaval, marchas fúnebres, esclavos africanos y
descendientes europeos se fusiona en una para dar origen al nuevo estilo. “Nevermind black, white or creole”.

A su vez, es un tributo a los años inmediatamente posteriores y las ciudades que lo vieron crecer y evolucionar: el jazz blanco estilo Chicago o las orquestas de Nueva York. Desde el swing contagioso de ‘It’s better to give than to receive’ (Helen Humes) hasta el cabaretero ‘I wanna’ (tema propio) o el aire melancólico y desgarrado de la siempre eterna Billie Holiday con la revisión de su clásico ‘God bless the child’.

Concluye el EP con otro tema propio, ‘Starlight’, interpretado a banjo y voz, un cálida balada de reminiscencias minstrel, que evoca a una remota cabaña ambulante del Medio Oeste americano, a la luz de las estrellas…

Por último, a modo de curiosidad, no sabemos a ciencia cierta cuándo fue la última vez que se compuso un stomp original en España. Puede que hace muchos años; o puede que nunca. En realidad es lo de menos. Las escasas bandas (maravillosas todas) que practican jazz tradicional en nuestro país fundamentalmente se centran en repertorio ajeno. Lo importante aquí es cerrar los ojos y dejarse atrapar por los sonidos de una época donde el jazz era tan popular que se oía en cada esquina, en cada local, en cada hogar…
