All That Jazz Poems - Poems about All That Jazz


ALL THAT JAZZ

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

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

All That Jazz

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

Bright
Sun-light
Shimmering
On the water
Playing jazz non-stop
On stones of the river

Flowing crystal water
Honeycomb pebbles
Gliding under
Open mouths
Singing
Carps

And All That Jazz

From East to west enslaved in chains
To work the fields, make tracks for trains
They sang their song antiphonally
To dull their day, hide misery
Those blues notes hit in wailing tone
And words about the heavenly home

Their doleful sounds had paved the way
To blues and jazz in later day
Rhythms and chords became complex
Joplin’s ragtime was a great success
For

Cowboys and All That Jazz - For Phillip Garcia

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

Keith Vaz and All That Jazz

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

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
