Annotation:
The smooth sound of "chug-a chug-a chug-a" races down the track as the jazz-fueled Bebop Express travels from New York City to New Orleans at full speed. It stops to pick up crazy, colorful musicians left and right, until finally, a sweet, sonorous quartet is in place to thrill the euphoric crowds with some "doot doot bah!" magic. There's Sax Man, in blue checks with horn in hand, Drum Man, whose wild garbage-can-lid sidewalk sounds have people hopping and bopping, and a trench coat clad "Happenin' Cat," fingering a cool bass. Completing the group with an earthy "she-bop!" is the glorious Song Lady. The wonderfully rhythmic, repetitive text is accompanied by sophisticated, multihued mixed-media collages from the famous illustration team of Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher.
