Mama's Hat / Old Friend

by Teddy Okafor Trio

A two-sided single: one proud, hat-and-feather celebration and one quiet evening by the ferry.

Tracks

  1. 1. Graduation Day Samba, Mama's HatMama bought a hat with a feather and a bow and wore it like a crown. We played this one with the biggest grin we've ever had on a bandstand.bossa nova, celebration samba3:10
  2. 2. Sit Down by the Water, Old FriendThe ferry brings you in at the end of summer and neither of us knows what to say. I kept the guitar soft so the silence could sit with us.bossa nova, tender jazz3:25

Liner notes

We pressed this one for a friend's graduation party and a friend's farewell, in the same month. The A-side is the party and the B-side is the walk to the water afterwards. Same band, same room, two very different evenings.
