1959

A super seismic year
Eargasmically one to revere

Sweet pulsating sounds
Bebop starting to slow down

Yes! A new, brand new form from an "OLD"
A new form that is undefined but 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, and 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 'Mambo de Cuco' in sweet and savory 'Sabroso.'
Santamaria serves zesty flavors to enliven the palate, which makes it hard to say no 

Yes!

1959 
A year so divine
One of a kind
Built to stand the test of time
