      Anyone want to try my Tenor version of Ben Webster’s Woke Up Clipped?

      It won’t be perfect, but I’ve given it a good go. Cheers

              Hi Leo, do you know what Woke Up Clipped means?
              I think it must be American slang as clipped in UK refers to a haircut.
              I wonder if it means waking up in jail?

              I’m practising the tune for alto, but getting everything right is tricky.
              If anyone wants the alto version let me know.
              Cheers Jeff

                “Woke up clipped” means to wake up feeling short-tempered, irritated, or abrupt, often expressing oneself with a quick, sharp tone of voice, as if “clipping” one’s words due to a lack of patience or annoyance upon waking up.

                Who Knew!

                  Hi Leo, thanks, that makes much more sense. So we should probably play with a little staccato aggression then.
