In The Wee Small Hours

[Bob Hilliard David A. Mann David Mann]

As the story goes, this song was actually written in the middle of the night at a session at Hilliard’s home in New Jersey. Mann reluctantly stayed and wrote the tune, to which Hilliard wrote the introspective and sad lyrics. Here, it’s fun to play in a funk ballad style with straight 16th notes.
