Jazz on a billboard, a flash of notes, Urgent beats, syncopation, improvisation, and impromptu solos but why jazz on a billboard? What’s the hap’s on that? Man, what is the impact of the word jazz on a billboard anyway? Syncopation is alive, solos breaking free, and a temporary show, but is jazz here to stay? Does a billboard for Jazz tell us about all the arranging, playing, composing finding a paying gig, radio spins, music reviews, band members quitting to get out of the jazz life? Cars whiz by, faces turned, who cares about the sound of jazz anyway The tenor horn says "Listen up, Listen here Jazz is everywhere, and like nowhere to be found So, dig this Every jazz note, every gig, every miss, and every jazz player who lives jazz behind Jazz shapes your life with a heartbreaking rhythm. So, here’s to the journey, to hip beats and downbeats Jazz is life on a billboard, is hip for some passers-by to see to feel, to groove, to feel where you're at To come alive, jazz is for real and that's my dance in life
