1959

A super seismic year Eargasmically one to revere Sweet pulsating sounds Bebop starting to slow down Yes! A new, a brand new, from an "OLD" A new form that is undefined but it feels good to the soul A new direction that's unclear Improvisation is supreme with creativity filling the atmosphere 1959 A year so divine One of a kind Built to stand the test of time Feeling "Kinda Blue", so I'm gonna take some "Time Out" Miles and Brubeck delivering now fans beginning to see what this is all about Oh, yeah! "Mingus Ah Um" "The Shape of Jazz to Come" Charles and Ornette standing tall, too Jazzing on a musical flight to a "New" Liftoff to the 'Birth of Cool' Flying high and jazzing through music's vestibule Then there is mighty 'Mongo' and sweet n savory 'Sabroso' Santamaria serving zesty flavors to enliven the palate which made it hard to say no Yes! 1959 A year so divine One of a kind Built to stand the test of time
