Why I love jazz:

IT'S ONE OF THE EVOLUTIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC.

Music:

MUSIC IS SOMETHING THAT IS DIFFERENT TO EVERYONE
LIKE A FINGER PRINT ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO CREATE IT. NO ONE HEARS OR WRITE THE SAME AS ANOTHER UNLESS THEY'RE IMITATING. NO ONE HEARS IT THE SAME EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE LISTENING TO THE SAME SONG, THERE'S A SPARK OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN EVERYONE, IT COULD BE SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF WHERE WE WERE THE FIRST TIME WE HEARD IT OR SOMETIMES GREAT WRITERS CAN JUST TOUCH THE SOULS OF MEN.
