JACQUET, HERE'S YOUR JACKET  NewYalloppin City

Words and Music by Joey "G-Clef" Cavaseno, as performed by The Yalloppin Hounds, featuring Peter Hartmann and G-Clef, vocals

Jacquet, where's ya jacket? Hey... Jacquet, here's ya jacket... I Quit! Jacquet, I can't hack it! Hey... Jacquet, here's ya jacket... I Quit! Every time you curse me out, I just hate you... The very next time you scream and shout, I'll have something else to do! So... Jacquet, stop da racket! Jacquet, here's ya jacket... I Quit!

This is a little tune I dreamed up as a joke in the freight elevator after a show at Mass Moca. We were all laughing so hard, we never thought it would really become a Hounds’ song. But it stuck with me. The title was based upon something the great Cecil Payne told Jacquet on a plane ride home from a European Tour, as he forked over his bright Yellow band blazer. It's a parody of some of the things my erstwhile bandleader, the great Illinois Jacquet might say on the bandstand. Alot of cool breaks for dancing, too!
