Don Elliott

Don Elliott (October 21, 1926 in Somerville, New Jersey – July 5, 1984 in Weston, Connecticut) was an American jazz trumpeter, vibraphonist, vocalist, and mellophone player. His album Calypso Jazz is considered by some jazz enthusiasts to be one of the definitive calypso jazz albums. Elliott recorded over 60 albums and 5,000 advertising jingles throughout his career. Elliott was also a longtime associate of Quincy Jones, contributing vocal work in particular to many of Jones' film scores.

Elliott played mellophone in his high school band and played trumpet for an army band. After study at the University of Miami he added vibraphone to the list. He recorded with Terry Gibbs and Buddy Rich before forming his own band. From 1953 to 1960 he won the Down Beat readers poll several times for "miscellaneous instrument-mellophone."

Known as the "Human Instrument", Don Elliott additionally performed jazz as a vocalist, trombonist, flugelhornist and percussionist. He pioneered the art of multitrack recording, composed countless prize-winning advertising jingles, prepared film scores, and built a thriving production company. Elliott scored several Broadway productions, including James Thurber's The Beast in Me and A Thurber Carnival, in the latter of which he performed with the Don Elliott Quartet. He also provided one of the voices for the novelty jazz duo the Nutty Squirrels.

    Down

    by: Lit

    We're lookin' money and she's super clean
    The fins are flying sculpted silver gleam
    Where is she going with a punk like this
    I like the looks it gets, I like the way it hits
    And I know that she'll be down
    Wherever we go
    Down for a ride
    Ready to drive all night
    Ready to drive all night
    With no place in mind
    Tank's full or empty I can never tell
    Fucked up my g-whites parking parallel
    Get in the middle and get in from my side
    I like the shape of it, I like the way it fits
    And she never lets me down
    Whenever we go
    Down for a ride
    Ready to drive all night
    Ready to drive all night
    She likes when we go
    Down for a ride
    Ready to drive all night
    Ready to drive all night
    With no place in mind
    It always takes me to a place that I belong
    Another time, another place that I belong
    It always takes me to a place that I belong
    Another time, another place that I belong
    And I know that she'll be down
    Wherever we go
    Down for a ride
    Ready to drive all night
    Ready to drive all night
    She likes when we go
    Down for a ride
    Ready to drive all night
    Ready to drive all night
