Jazz
By Jeffrey McKinney

Here that sound
That's Jazz man. That's Dixie and Spirituals
Classical and rituals
European and African
Drums of Congo Square
Chicago horns a blare
Mississippi guitar and note book songs
Singing stories of homeland stolen
And a new Exodus to a new homeland above
Now that’s love
And that's Jazz

Kansas City Sassy
Cotton club classy
Caribbean Clava, Salsa, Bossa Nova Hot

Big Band ballroom dancing
Delta blues
New school ole school
Syncopation
Explanation?
Thought you'd never ask
Boy do you have class

It's about taking you on a trip
If you're hip
You will understand the Universal Sound
For it is a mixture of all things
Spirit and natural
All in one
Serious and fun
Son, that's Jazz
Ella, Duke, Satchmo
Mo better blues, for sure
But mo better everything
I sing it too because I'm happy
I sing it too because I'm free
And when I'm free, I like to take you with me
Don't you want to go
You see with Jazz, you choose the destination
The sound is only the transportation
Dig

Then listen to some Jazz
And take a little trip
take a little trip
take a little trip with me
take a little trip
take a little trip
take a little trip and see

It's free and you don't even have to take a little sip
To trip,
well some do
But that's them
That doesn't have to be you
You see you can meditate
Celebrate
And yes Procreate too, smiles
Well you sho nuff can if that's your plan

Well my friend don't hate and don't procrastinate
It's just a matter of what destination YOU CHOOSE to take
But do go, we all need to sometimes ESCAPE
All aboard;)
