[OSList] Fwd: #9 -- take your time -- 6/3/15

Wed Jun 3 06:18:19 PDT 2015

This story and video by Paul Schaffer and Sammy Davis, Jr.  seems deeply
related to the OPen Space practice of music, improvization, showing up with
your talent/passion, "letting it happen"  within rhythm structures,  using
all your experience and knowing the power of collaboration.  This video
made me cry.  What a life,  what a gift, what a moment that happened only
once just that way.

*NUMBER 9*

In today's *encore* excerpt -- from *We'll Be Here For the Rest of Our
Lives: A Swingin' Show-biz Saga* by Paul Shaffer. For those who are already
expert at their craft there are perils to rushing or over-rehearsing. Here
Paul Shaffer frantically tries to reach Sammy Davis Jr. to select a song
and schedule rehearsal before his appearance on the David Letterman show:

"Every time I called [Sammy Davis Jr. to try and select a song or discuss
rehearsal] he was either working or sleeping. He never did return my calls.
The morning of the show I was feeling some panic. Sammy was flying in, and
we still didn't know what he wanted to sing. At 10 a.m., the floor manager
said I had a backstage call. It was Sammy calling from the plane.

 " 'Once in My Life' will be fine, Paul' he said. 'Key of E going into F.'

 " 'Great!' I was relieved. I was also eager to work out an arrangement.
... We whipped up a chart, nursed it, rehearsed it, and put it on tape.
That way when Sammy arrived, he could hear it. Then another backstage call.
Sammy's plane had landed early, and he was on his way over. When I greeted
him at the backstage door with a big 'We're thrilled you're here' I was a
little taken aback. He looked extremely tired and frail. He walked with a
cane.

 " 'We have an arrangement, Sam. You can rehearse it with the band.'

" 'No need, baby. Gotta conserve my energy. I'm just gonna go to my room
and shower.'

" 'I wanna make it easy for you. So I'll just play you a tape of the
arrangement on the boom box. That way you'll hear what we've done and tell
me if it's okay.'

" 'Man, I know the song.'

" 'I know, Sam,' I said, 'but what if you don't like the chart?'

" 'I'll like it, I'll like it.'

" 'But what if the key's not right?'

" 'Okay, if you insist.'

"I slipped the cassette in the boom box and hit 'play.' To my ears the
chart sounded great. Sammy closed his eyes and, in Sammy style, nodded his
head up and down to the groove. He smiled.

" 'It's swinging man,' he said 'but think of how much more fun we could
have had if I hadn't heard this tape.'

"His words still resonate in my ears; the notion still haunts me. Sammy
swung that night but as he was performing I couldn't help thinking that his
carefree feeling about time -- as opposed to my lifelong notion of the
pressure of the time -- was coming from a higher spiritual plane. As a
musician, I've always thought I rushed. I still think I rush. The great
players never rush. It reminds me of that moment when I watched Ray Charles
turn to his guitarist, just as the young guy was about to solo, and say
'Take your time son. Take your time.' "

*About Us*

Delanceyplace is a brief daily email with an excerpt or quote we view as
interesting or noteworthy, offered with commentary to provide context.
There is no theme, except that most excerpts will come from a non-fiction
work, mainly works of history, are occasionally controversial, and we hope
will have a more universal relevance than simply the subject of the book
from which they came.
