Talkin' All That Jazz

 

Miles, Mingus, Monk
Big band, Be-bop
Civil right funk
Art Blakeys’s snare
Hancock’s dream
Lift off – ascension
A love supreme.
Blue Note, Verve, Prestige
The Duke, Bird, Dizzy, me
Get on the soul train
With John Coltrane
To dark town Harlem scenes.
Trios, Quartets, Nonets
White plastic saxophone scream
Those trumpet tones
Whose voices blow
Pray for those in need
Harmoniously they sing
In unison if you please;
We must Let Freedom Ring!
We must Let Freedom Ring!
