The Blue Note over the tomb of Jazz musicians.
We
learned that a blue note is the extra sounds and beats between the black notes
on a page the best example I heard was from the famous song from the Jungle
Book written by Louie Prima.
I wanna be like you-hu-hu
(Hop-dee-doo-bee-do-bow)
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you
To-o-oo! (Wee-bee-dee-bee-dee-boo)
You'll see it's tru-u-ue (Shoo-be-dee-doo)
An ape like me-e-e (Scooby-doo-bee-doo-bee)
Can learn to be
Hu-u-uman
To-o-oo!
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you
To-o-oo! (Wee-bee-dee-bee-dee-boo)

Hu-u-uman
To-o-oo!
All
the blue notes are the words in parenthesis’s and without them would be a whole
different song. Over the graves of the deceased jazz musicians there is a blue
note. Without them New Orleans would be a whole different place.
