Play that Saxophone for me, play a sweet Melody
Play the keys so smoothly , let the music sing for me.
As i close my eyes I feel so alive and hypnotised by the vibes it is sending to me.
It is driving me wild, sending shivers up my spine.
I have a natural high for I am in total bliss with this music.
Come with me and experience a jazz feast
Listen to the Saxophone, clarinet, the Spanish guitar,
Bass guitar, obeo,piano, chelo and more .
The world of jazz has so much to offer the heart, mind and soul.
Step inside yhe world of jazz let it translate you to a different land .
Smooth jazz, easy on the mind , nice and relaxed
Dim the lights and let yhe music take flight
With all that jazz.
all that jazz
Hello Dolly, I must confess
those Louis Armstrong tunes
keep churning in my head
I've had Georgia on my mind
since that night we danced cheek to cheek
when we shared a kiss to build a dream on
Since then, I think of only you
and what a wonderful world it would be
if you'd agree to share your life me
What do you say... marry me ~
p.s using titles of Louis Armstrong songs
AP: 1st place 2025, 3rd place 2025
since the thirties musicians
have improvised while
playing traditional tunes
they've changed the tempo
rearranged the notes
added some embellishments
made runs and flourishes
generally rewrote the tunes
and created a new form of music
it caused listeners to snap
their fingers and tap their toes
and they called it jazz
jazz changed the way people
thought about music
the music changed
the way people thought
they no longer just sat and listened
they became part of the music
the music became part of them
I heard it in my cradle
I grew up with it
grew to love it
and still listen to
all that jazz

On the water
Playing jazz non-stop
On stones of the river
Flowing crystal water
Honeycomb pebbles
Gliding under
Open mouths

Her poetry was conceived
'round fancy pants scraps,
inclined to reverberate wrangles
'tween an I reckon ma'am
and well versed jazzy visuals,
paid no mind to cowboy's
bumbling foolishness &
lumbered foreign gibberish
knowing full well it was
a lone star disposition,
merely a Texan head trip
See y'all next time...
Written in response to him calling out my words as 'fancy pants'...all in good fun.
"Well yessum we surely do. Y'all fancy type just lasso circles 'round us with yer fancy pants words."
So farewell Keith Vaz, we don’t really mind
Whether you steered from the front or behind
But the coke was a bit of an epic fail
What’s that, you’re snorting, I didn’t inhale?
So hello Keith Vaz, you’re still knocking about
You can lock up yer closet now yer out
And maybe hang out with Osborne and stuff
Isn’t he a bit of a powder puff?

All That Jazz/Dedicated to Horace Silver
That underground sound sizzles because it's hot!
That sound from underground tells a story
Drawn deep from my soul
It's moody...it's blue
Sometimes so sublime it soothes you
Jumping and jiving with a crackle and a pop...
Who's chomping that silver sound from those ivory keys?
Who's thumping that bass and walking the talk?
Trumpets on fire...flying high to dizzy heights!
The sax said, "Just kick back"
The melody's serenade persuades me to relax...
Thunder rolls...lighting flash...cymbals crash
Those mighty drums!
Red tom-toms and rumbles set the pace
For all that jazz
