An original Billy Taylor composition, recorded in 2001 with Billy on piano, Chip Jackson on bass, and Steve Johns on drums. The tune was written to show what can be done using only the title chord and its three basic notes C, A and G, masterfully manipulated throughout the song.

Quotables
• “If you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know” — Louis Armstrong
• “Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there” — Miles Davis
• “Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty good and you win. Some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins. This goes on and on and then you die, and the horn wins” — Dizzy Gillespie
• “Well, jazz is to me, a complete lifestyle. It’s bigger than a word. It’s a much bigger force than just something that you can say. It’s something that you have to feel. It’s something that you have to live.” — Ray Brown
