Harold Mabern's "I Remember Britt"
Here is another tune Mabern taught me when I was a student at WPU. I never charted it out then, but for some recent appearances at Chris’ Jazz Cafe where I dug into the Lee Morgan “Live at the Lighthouse” record.
For those curious, Britt was a friend of Mabern’s son who passed away in an accident. The Frère Jacques intro is a nod to childhood.
Anyhow, here is the version from ‘Live at the Lighthouse,’ a video of just the head from Chris’ a few months back, and the PDF. Play it on your own gig! Keep Mabern’s legacy going.
