"I discovered Steady Holiday’s “So Long” on a playlist of Wes Anderson songs. As it turns out, it isn’t featured in any of his movies, but I still fell in love with the song. It tells the story of ending a relationship but in the most romantic way possible. It’s a love song for someone you are losing, for someone you are choosing to leave. There’s something very profound about that space. The strangeness of it; somehow hopeful and sad all at the same time. My arrangement draws from the hopeful and compassionate sentiment of the song. It’s the most traditionally “jazzy” tune on the record, channeling the joyful sounds of New Orleans in a reminder to celebrate life, even during its more difficult moments. Gil Defay captured this sentiment effortlessly in his joyous and cheery trumpet solo." -Marty Isenberg
lyrics
You deserve a song so long, it plays behind the hurt
Beyond the tears, beyond the courtesy of elementary melodies
And chord progressions much like these
To love and be loved, who'd have thought it'd be so mysterious?
It would be painful without bruises and subject to who chooses
To pull the plug and hope that no one sinks
You deserve a song so long, it plays beyond the fade
Beyond the place where all our memories repeat into eternity
Preserving them so bittersweet, for better or worse
What's the harm in a little disillusion?
A little rosy hue and a drink to see it through
To separate my logic from my ways
I can and I will, and I can and I will move on
And you can and you will, and you can and you will move on
You deserve a song so long and crafted with hands of love and capability
So I'll retire, I'll keep it brief
Admiring you lovingly
So long, so long, so long
Lyrics by Andrea "Dre" Babinski

i was at 2 of these shows and they were a highlight of the year for me, so glad to see this music released -- the interplay is incredible and the interpretations are so fresh. the recording quality is excellent as well. e123
This is a wonderful album! Dave Douglas is one of my heroes. He's more than a great musician. He has a vision for the music and a feeling for putting together a group which is unique. So, beside Joey Baron (another heavyweight and one of my absolute favourite drummers) he invited some young cats to this session. They play just great and make sure that this music sounds totally fresh, whilst at the same time being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. Florian Arbenz
