Dat Dere arr. Erik Morales - Score & Sound

Dat Dere
By Bobby Timmons / arr. Erik Morales

Item: 00-36044
Series: Jazz Band
Grade 3
Ensemble: Jazz Ensemble
Format: Conductor Score & Parts

Taking advantage of a soulful tune with a catchy title and melody, Erik Morales captures composer Bobby Timmons’s medium swing groove. At 120 BPM, with a slightly mysterious intro, the saxes grab the melody and it builds from there. A written (or ad lib) alto solo is provided with a fat shout chorus. This is an outstanding chart in every respect. (4:05) This title is available in SmartMusic.

[destinasarussi]

This is my audition for jazz band. Can someone give me some tips on improvising? I’m terrible at it. My primary instrument is flute, but my director wants me to learn alto sax, so I can play in his jazz band. I still have trouble understanding the changes in the solos. I’m a beginner to the jazz technique. Some of the changes look really complicated the one that says F#mi7(b5). What does it mean?

Hey daddy what dat Dere
And why dat under dere
And daddy oh hey daddy oh look it over there

Hey where they goin dere
And what they doin dere
And daddy can I have that big elephant over there

Hey who that in my chair
And what’s she doin dere
And oh daddy oh hey daddy can I go over there
Hey daddy what’s a square
And where do we get air
And daddy can I have that big elephant over dere

My quizzical kid!
Man he doesn’t want anything hid
He’s forever demanding to know
Who and what and why and where
Inquisitive child
And sometimes the questions are wild
Like daddy can I have that big elephant over dere

Don’t wanna comb my hair
And where my teddy bear
And daddy look at that cowboy coming there
Hey can I have a pair of boots like that to wear
And daddy can I have that big elephant over dere

The time will March the year will go
The little fellows gonna grow
I gotta tell him what he needs to know

As life’s parade goes trudging by
He’ll need to know some reasons why
I don’t have all the answers but I’ll try

My quizzical kid
Man he doesn’t want anything hid
Inquisitive child and sometimes the questions are wild

Hey daddy what dat dere
And why that under dere
And oh daddy oh hey daddy oh look it over there

Hey where they going dere
And what they doin dere
And daddy can I have that big elephant over there
And daddy can I have that big elephant over there
And daddy oh daddy oh daddy oh daddy oh daddy oh daddy

[nka]

Hey mama, what's that there?
And what's that doing there?
Hey mama, up here! Mama, hey look at that over there!
And what's that doing there?
And where're they going there?
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?

Who's that in my chair?
And what's he doing there?
Mummy, up here!
Mummy, can I go over there?
Hey mummy, what is square?
And where do we get air?
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?

Quit talking!
There's no more anything here!
Forever to manage to know who and why and where!
Quit that, child!
Sometimes the questions get filed!
And mummy can I have that big elehpant over there?

Don't wanna comb my hair
And where's my teddy bear?
Mummy, up here!
Look at the cowboy coming there!
And can I have a pair
Of boots like that to wear?
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?

Time will march
Days will go
And little baby's going to grow
I gotta tell her what she needs to know
I'll help her along
And she'll be strong
And she'll know right from wrong

As life's parade goes marching by
She's gonna need to know some reasons why
I don't have all the answers
But I'll try the best as I can
I'll make him a man, that's right

'Cause you give the kid your best
And hope she passes the test
And I find it so hard I taught him well ***
Somewhere though she's going I betting I never will forget ***
Mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?

Hey why they do that there?
And how you put that there?
Hey mummy, up here! Hey mummy, what that say up there?
Hey mummy, what is fair?
How come I have to share?
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?
