Brandon Burke Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) Every time I leave my offifce to go to the Archives or Preservation it seems my default action is to whistle something, usually a jazz head. I don't even think about it. Often it's Monk or Herbie Nichols. "Lonely Woman" comes up a lot too. This week I've fallen back on Freddie Redd "The Thespian." Mostly the first half of the head, the slower part. By the time the fast part is supposed to kick in I'm usually where I need to be. Besides, I can't whistle cleanly and in tune that fast.

jazzbo Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I wish I had a dollar for everytime that "Sweet and Lovely" OR "Come Rain or Shine" pops into my head and makes me whistle a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I'm constantly whistling jazz heads at work (badly, I might add). Drives my co-workers nuts, which is an added benefit. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
