                   Rockin' In The Balcony -- The new/old 
                  Dave Brubeck tune that took a half-century to 
                  write
  Dave Brubeck recently 
                  approved a lyric I wrote in 2007 for "Balcony Rock," one of 
                  his Quartet's best-loved jazz instrumentals. That tune 
                  dates from his 1954 Jazz Goes To College album, so this 
                  vocal version--called "Rockin' In The Balcony"--is, in 
                  effect, a collaboration that took 53 years to complete. It's 
                  the title tune of this short CD by my daughter Emily, who 
                  sings jazz and pop.
