Swing at the drop of a hat



“This guy from Kansas city always used to talk about him (Richie Kamuca) and say that he could "swing at the drop of a hat". I’ve always liked that phrase! It meant, you know, you can just see this guy getting up (and I can actually remember how he sounds sort-of) and you get this sort of happy- da-Doop-doop-Doop-doop- happy swinging jazz. Boom. "        

- Stanley Lewis in a 2011 interview with Tulsa Public Radio's Rich Fischer (8:36)

This could also serve as a good description of the intended spirit of the quick impromptu drawings featured in this blog.
