Notes About The Poem

High Fidelity Philly Says


Hustlin' Soul Jazz to the beat on the street/
  Straight ahead Hank Mobley Art Blakey Seven Steps to the cool sounds of Harlem, diggin' deep into the subway, Harlem-148 St get off, take off/
 whatcha say, bright moments, Man, bright moments the Pharoah Sanders way Milestones on the eight track Blue Mitchall's trumpet at the Sweet Basil, a jazz club in New York City's Greenwich Village/ a great place to play jazz and hang  with no big pay day/

 Wow, what a scene, Cecil McBee, Leroy Jenkins,  Junior Mance, heavy heavy hitters of the jazz day/
  So dig this, don't forget Wynton Kelly and his trio/
 cool jazz covers and slick sleeves to get the record-buyin' hipster to hit on vinyl. Man, let  me get you a bird's eye view, cause there ain't no cover charge to dig these words to view
