[C] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] The [D] title [F] of the album is
_ [D] Dear Dies, [Gm] Every Day I Think Of [F] You
_ [C] I'm extremely happy [F] and grateful
_ [D] for the opportunity to [Dm] do such [C] a tribute to my [Fm] hero, my mentor.
He [F] really helped [Fm] me very, very, [Bbm] very much [Bb] since we met.
After [F] _ that, I [C] feel like _ [Gb] anything [Fm] I did, [Gm] music-wise, [Abm] he was involved.
[G] He was [C] behind there, encouraging _ me.
[D] This is a really [F] high-energy,
[D] _ _ incredibly technical, technically [C] difficult [D] album
[G] that celebrates Dizzy.
This [B] is the Arturo that people have [C] come to know and love.
[F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ Zombita, zombita! _
_ _ [G] _ Zombita!

[C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] What really made [Eb] the big difference over here is [Abm] the arrangement.
[Bb] _ [Ab] All of them, they're very, [Bb] very special arrangements.
Which [D] really, not only for me, [Gb] also from the arranger,
_ [Bbm] _
it's a very [Fm] fine and beautiful tribute [Bbm] to Dizzy and his music.
[Fm] What Arturo and I talked about is we didn't want to do arrangements,
[G] have arrangements written that would be anywhere near the original.
[E] So, to keep it fresh.
And we invited Gordon Goodwin, Dan Higgins, Chris Walden,
[Abm] who was Wally Minkow, [E] but these are [Dbm] all _ Grammy-winning [E] arrangers.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
One of the other arrangements _ [Gb] that I think is Arturo's favorite track
on the whole [Cm] record is a tune called Burke's Works.
[Bb] _ Dizzy's middle name [Cm] was Burke.
We asked [D] Plaz Johnson, _ [C] who is a name [Bbm] that may not be as well-known to the public,
[Ebm] but he probably [Ab] played the most famous [D] saxophone solo in history.
[Cm] He's the original [C] saxophone player on Henry Mancini's Pink Panther.
So we asked Shelley Berg to [A] arrange Burke's [Ab] Works a la Mancini.
And [Eb] it's Plaz and Dan [G] Higgins playing [Cm] alto flute
and Arturo playing harmon trumpet.
[F] Very reminiscent of [Ab] the Pink Panther in the way we [C] created the arrangement.
[Gm] _ _ [Cm]
That's [C] pretty amazing.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
We have an honor [F] and a privilege [Ab] to [B] have a group of special musicians
_ play in the record and [Ebm] also special guests.
It's like a luxury to have all those people [G] in one record.
But besides [Abm] that, we've got _ [B] Gary Burton [Ebm] on the vibraphone,
we've [Bb] got Shelley Berg on piano, [G] we've got Joey [F] DeFrancesco,
we've got [Bb] Bud [Gbm] Mincer, Bud [E] Shepard, _ _ [Fm] _ _
[G] Chuck Verhoeffer on the bass,
and [Eb] the whole band [Abm] is a group of [Gb] amazing musicians.
_ _ [Fm]
Arturo wrote [Bbm] this love letter.
He wrote the music and the lyrics.
And it [Gb] closes the record.
[Bb] _ _ [C]
[F] It's called Every Day I Think of You.
And he clearly does.
It's a sweet little [Ab] song that's sort of an epilogue on the record.
It's the encore of the record.
_ [G] _ [Gm] And that's exactly why we called it.
It's a [F] very sentimental title, but that's [Cm] ultimately what this album is.
It's a love [F] letter to Dizzy from Arturo.
And [Gm] the result, the final, and the record came out so good,
[Cm] and [Fm] I couldn't be more [Bbm] happy.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] When I feel blue, _ [Ebm] you cheer me up
[Gm] _
When I laugh, [Dbm] you laugh with me
[Cm] _ _ You save my _ [Bb] life, _ [D] dear Dizz
_ [Ebm] _
You set me free
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
