The
Cat's Meow is
straight-ahead swinger in
the same vein as Benny
Golson's classic Killer
Joe. The melody is a very
simple riff that repeats
at different levels over
the course of the form.
The cat who inspired the
tune is a furry exotic
Persian named Berlioz who
took up residence in the
composer's house. Like
most cats, his life
consists mainly of eating
and sleeping. He most
often resides at the top
of the stairs, and never
bothers to try to get out
of the way.

jazz by listening!
