Riffs and Variations On a Single Note for Jelly Roll, Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Baby Dodds, and the King of Swing, to Name a Few

In the tower above the earth There is a view that reaches far Where we see the universe I see the fire, I see the end Seven miles above the earth There is Emmanuel of mothers With his sword, with his robe He comes dividing man from brothers In the tower above the earth, we built it for Emmanuel In the powers of the earth, we wait until it rips and rips In the tower above the earth, we built it for Emmanuel Oh my mother, she betrayed us, but my father loved and bathed us Still I go to the deepest grave Where I go to sleep alone
