Dance- Aim to gain, against the grain Script the page, you're entertained It ain't the same, it ain't the same, see Things have changed, things, things, have changed The price to claim, is hard to gauge This age today ain't meant to aim Engaged, inept apt to attain and tame More ways to lay, even more to waste and Many more you see or you seize, or There's many more seeds to obtain, you see You seek being extra pays Being selfless weighs, distaste or displace These golden, dismantled 'O' days Out the phrasin’, in out of phases Oh, the places we'll go It's not okay Displays matter more than what's on stage Out of towners don't see him no more The shine in the wrinkle no more The value and the richness is more In the people, the culture, praises, and faces Where home lays - Cinderella Lane A foot forward, a foot in the past. The balance. Down to the name or how you say it, you see You can be named by a settler And not choose to settle Say the name the way it was intended Mother voices, he recalls. Every. Single. Time. Again then again then, you know what? My family begins like this, but you can call me that Once friends with farmers and residents too The scenery and greenery grew, agriculture drew Like an artist knew the scene to lure A boom to a new chapter, a new feed Fertility breeds, opportune, growing needs Growth breeds tech, and tech breeds boom Unrest looms It's the city of growth, eyes to skies We'll be okay, on Cinderella Lane DO SOMETHING (Lyrics by Juanita Harris) This world does not belong to you and me We’ve lost the meaning of what it means to be free Misogyny, hatred and so much bigotry What do you do in the face of such blatant anger and greed? We take a stand. We stand as one There’s no mistaking what needs to be done Lean into the winds of opposition Take position Stand for what is right. Fight for your life We’re on a mission You've got to do something Take the time and figure out What you can do something You better scream You better shout You better do something Before the bill comes due You've got to do something Before they come for you Don't be fooled by your false security This affects you too. Get your butts up from the pews Can’t you see you're getting screwed? Tell me what you plan to do about it We take a stand. We stand as one There's no mistaking what needs to be done Lean into the winds of opposition Take position Stand for what is right. Fight for your life We're on a mission You've got to do something Take the time and figure out What you can do something You better scream You better shout You better do something Before the bill comes due You've got to do something Before they come for you TABULA RASA (LET THE WIND COME IN) (Lyrics by William Bohrer) How can I believe what you say? The color of the sky won’t always be that way. There is an open door. Since you've gone astray I have let the wind come in, to try and wipe my slate. How can I be released from this pain? The color of your love has left my heart stained. That no amount of rain can ever wash away I will let the water flow, 'til I don't even know. 'Til I can feel the rain on my skin again. 'Til I can think of you as too good to be true. My eyes might be missing a spark or two. My flame alone won't warm me the whole night through. There is an open door. Since I fell for you I let the wind come in, now I must wipe my slate. 'Til I can feel the rain on my skin again. 'Til I can think of you as too good to be true. My eyes might be missing a spark or two. My flame alone won't warm me the whole night through. There is an open door. Since I fell for you I tried to let you in, but all that happened then, was I let the wind come in, now I must wipe my slate. LOOKIN' FOR THE REAL THING (Lyrics by William Bohrer) I can see like I never had before My eyes have adjusted to the dark There's no hidin' now. It's ail on the table So come get your lovin’ whenever you're able Soul searching for a mate has no time to sit and wait Goin' nowhere fast for you I just want to see it through Maybe we can find a way. Get some lovin' here today I gotta let you know... I'm lookin' for the real thing, baby I’m thinkin', thinkin', help me maybe I could teach ya what ya never had before It s the right place at the right time to close the door But just one minute before I follow through Go ahead and ask yourself, what are you gonna do? Soul searching for a mate has no time to sit and wait Goin’ nowhere fast for you I just want to see it through Maybe we can find a way. Get some lovin’ here today I gotta let you know... I'm lookin' for the real thing, baby I'm thinkin', thinkin', help me maybe The Band Woodwinds Alvin Delos Santos - Alto sax Oscar Pangilinan - Alto sax Brittany Biala - Alto sax Brendan Carroll - Tenor sax Samuel Brown - Tenor sax, Clarinet Jerry Holmes - Bari sax, Bass clarinet Lidia Rodriguez - Flute, Bari sax Trumpets & Flugelhorns Kenny Bischoff Rigoberto Velez Jacob Jackman Nathan Tao Amanda Cienfuegos Trombones Faris Jarrah Kevin Bryson Scott Clabaugh Veronica Tyler - Bass bone Rhythm Section Gabby Horlick - Band Leader, Drums Nichole Boaz - Piano, Keyboard William Bohrer - Guitar Danny Gerz - Bass Vocals Juanita Harris Jonathan Borca A note from our band leader... First, to the band...We did it! A whole year of hard work, rehearsing, writing, rewriting, arguing {only a little), recording, and promoting, and it's finally here! I can't thank you ail enough for going on this journey with me. Thank you for dealing with backyard rehearsals in that heat all summer. Thank you for putting up with my grumpiness during the more stressful times of this process. Thank you for showing up to all of those long rehearsals leading up to the session. And thank you for playing your asses off during recording! I couldn’t be happier with the finished product, and you all should be proud of yourselves. To those of you that put in extra effort and worked closely with me to get this album made, I'm extremely grateful. Rigo, Faris, and Jerry, I thank you so much for handling most of the logistics with the Indigogo, recording, mastering, etc, giving me more time to focus on the music and the band. Nichole, this album literally could not have been made without you. Thank you for putting so much of your personal time into writing and arranging all of these great charts! Veronica, Faris, Jerry, Juanita, Alvin, Will, Nichole, Brendan, and Scott, thank you for writing and arranging this album. Aaron, thank you for writing the chart that ended up being the missing piece of the puzzle. Nichole and Veronica, thank you for being my rocks throughout this entire thing; you kept me sane during the chaos, gave me great guidance, and helped me learn to trust myself in making decisions regarding the group. I love you guys. AJ, thank you for allowing me to be picky during the mixing process and for e-mailing back and forth with me until we got it right. Ellen, thank you for making my house (and the band) look so cool on the cover! Noli, thanks for providing us with a much needed rehearsal space the week of the session. Brooke, thanks for listening to my ramblings about this project all year at work. Oscar, thanks for sitting in with the group for this session; it was a pleasure to have you. Thank you Jonathan for reuniting with me on this project - it was a lot of fun working together again. Thanks to Tim Spacek, Bill Nicolosi, Steve Barnhill, and Gus Kambeitz for not only being great band directors to me over the years, but helping to provide me with the tools I need to run this band. Many thanks to the Alum Rock Jazz Program; had it not been for that program, I don't know that I would be leading a big band at all today. Also thank you to each person that contributed to our Indiegogo campain! And of course, I'd like to thank my Mom and Dad for allowing me to continue to pursue music throughout my life from a young age, and for giving me such a wide and amazing variety of music to listen to growing up. Thank you ail! -Gabby On behalf of the entire band, we'd like to thank everyone at Fantasy Studios, especially Adam, for putting up with our shenanigans for a whole weekend, and for making us sound awesome in the studio. We'd also like to thank Steve and Ruth Horlick for allowing us to wreck their house during Sunday rehearsals. We promise we re working on getting those broken lamps replaced soon! Thank you to Tabard Theater, and to the Vado family at Art Boutiki, for providing such great venues for a band our size to play at here in San Jose. Thank you to everyone that helped us out with this project, and thanks to everyone that has supported us over the years! We'll see you at the next show!
