Premium Member The Jazz poem brothers

The Jazz poem brothers, so hip and so way cool,
With their smooth jazz talk, they never play the street fool/
They snap their fingers and dance to the bass conga beat/
Their rhythm and rhyme are hip in time/man, they are kicking the verse and breaking it down/
They paint a mind collage with each word they say, Man, it just lays me out / What can I say/
Taking us on a word poem journey, in their special soul jazz spoken word way/
Get down to their word flow/ a slaughterhouse of jazz words/poetry from the jazz edge/let's go/
 The brothers transport us to a place where the bebop Buddha shows his face/
Yo listen up tight, to what their jazz word orchestra has to say/ 
Let their words guide you to the jazz planet in the Milky Way/
The Jazz poem brothers know how to groove high/to the spoken word poetry/ in the simmering jazz Zen sky/
Their poetry word jazz will lift you/Man, it's a swingin' affair/ Miles, Trane, and Diz/ horn blowing word jazz and a gin fizz/The jazz poem brothers/in search of the new word vibe/Tossing a snow storm of words into the crowd as they wave by by/

Early upper zuma jazz tap

He wo motto took a shield for the bettering of 
Boy bubble kev
Upper right flange damage severe ordinance requirement of lifeline preserve cartography blissed out

Gregory Hines session energetic time card!

Currency joins New York Jazz

Currently the security profit programs is hesitant 
Sista bad ways the masters degree premonition holder has eliquented us inside of the never growing fortress of people's passed economic struggles as mimes

Yet the obstructioni zing doth not permit a permit 

Ye of vittles portion lacks the fortitude of good days in labor 

Between Camarillo livibility lengths and Newbury Park rotations as the same 

None may improvith stations whilst sista bad feelings goes into debt full idea administration worry

It was autumn 
Before the round 
Something shivered 
Tools wasn't full
Vans change, tools out strange the work 
All damseled
In respite
Shane apprehension grovel
Lost beside his print 
Finding his father's name
April,  too new city managers 
Yorks and shires bereaved
I wasn't your only father's rent
The war counted on better rays 
Rates add fits
In byes gondolas say
To write wrongs
Haven't worried sensibly
The round became my leaving board 
A pond as his mother's springs 
She sheltered little in life
Deathly burden to me
Manhattan Surrender my moons light


Over easy

Listening to Jazz

Eating my egg, ham and cheese

So easy to please

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 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.

Sweet Jazz Night

Bluesy
swinging sipper—
Sax in fancy suede taps, 
keys go snippety, ivory
sprinkles


Premium Member i left the jazz club, because the sax player was playing with his eyes open

it's not what i paid for 
kind of blue spangalang 
but the doctor was in good spirits

and told me he wasn't to know how rubbish 
the radiologist was 
as he laughed at my ultrasound 

and asked my children if they're playing with slime
arco lounge toast
is there marmite on my face?

and drinking beer in the family stand at the cricket
"it's non-alcoholic pal."
"is it?" asks the member of staff

and the bloke in the urinal next to me 
leans on the wall, yelling "come on!"
really profound stuff

give me a licorice stick
and you'll witness my jazz face

Premium Member Mr Bojangles-Piano Man

Piano man was what he said he was called.
Percussion he didn’t need to keep us enthralled.
Pianoforte, this was his instrument of choice.
Pacifying and entertaining with his velvet voice.

Piano man hit heights. 
Please play those black and whites.	
Pick a tune with pazazz. 
Play that great old time Jazz.

Phrase those songs to tap our feet.
Pure honkey tonk, most complete. 
Put old time feelings, sweet. 
Perfection, feel the beat.

Play those ivory keys. 
Plant new notes with such ease.
Piano man, don’t stop. 
Please don’t play that hip hop. 

Play us a jazzy tune. 
Pleasure that we can croon. 
Praising life, an all its ways.
Pitch is off, piano has seen better days.

Pure music-its still there.
Pretty sweet melodies fill the air.
Piano man, play any song you please.
Played as he laughed and tickled the keys.

Smoke and Sin

The club was dim, a haze of gin and gold,
where jazz ran slick like honey through the air.
She stood in shadow, wicked, dark, and bold,
red dress a warning--men still stopped to stare.

Her cigarette burned low, a dying spark,
a curl of smoke that whispered through the room.
She met my eyes and smiled--slow, and dark--
a prelude to the kiss that spelled my doom.

Her voice was silk, laced soft with bourbon heat,
each word a lie that tasted rich and sweet.
She dragged me close, a moth into the flame,
and laughed as I surrendered to the game.

The night grew cold, the music played its tune--
I turned… too late. She vanished with the moon.

Lost City of Rucker

polish outside
royce, he hide a boy, called him sunshine

he so starch on the collar
he don't appreciate the cloth
till the potato off it again


stingiest thing ever, hold langstons typewriter
ima go shuffle it again for yu ryan, danial, ward the spirit
pop lost the address,
in his toe winkle, he had it

how this the rhyme?
the partner upstairs
cant see me
i do it this un?

the girls the stowaway fortune
beneath the slavery laws?
its the first time california girl not a bikini
girls, the womens rights is 60 year old league of dont care

Hybrid babble tap it chan
Jackie!
Jackie?

Premium Member JAZZ

Nail walking down the street
Carrying a bagful to fix something
For the master who owns my dreaming
Storefronts lolling sidewalks asleep
Night quiet jazz, Erie, PA
The endless road breaking cartons
Locked doors being kidnapped jumping
fences getting spotted running away
Dreaming snatches of words in the air
Fine milky jazz boots on a roll a train 
That passes at 10 a,m, cars with their vapor
Mist the chuga-chuga sound of a boxcar to
No-where the rattling of walls when you are
Alone hot tea Lorrianne in a skirt a poetry
Reading in N.Y. moving out with only the
Shirt on my back going down,back,out, taking
Chris to the mermaid bar covered in sand, no shoes
Living nearby close to the sea, changing
Having enough cool to chill sand enough to scratch
That you never itch life that you're full
Digging the Diz and jack going, back going, back going
Because you want to/needing nothing' nothing but a little
Taste now and again just being free doing it instead of it
doing you

Premium Member Tuesdays' nights

was the whiskey and the jazz playing
On too many black nights with too
Many lonely women and not a poem
Between them

How many times can you run
From the shadow of the voices that
Surround you

Beating like drums in the darkness
Tasting more of your flesh each time
Not leaving enough for a man to breathe
No way for a man to live 

How could the hep-cat jive survive
When my voice can only spit silence
Wasn't a dream left to filter thru
The night worn inside and out and

Bled dry a bottle singing the page blank and life in the hands of
the haves laughing at the broken shadows of the have-nots

There was a club on 34th and Second Ave where the jazzman
swung
All night long beat poets recited Tuesdays' nights and Jack was
always drunk in the third booth

Scrawling poems on paper bags and notebooks

Taking life hard on the chin and after a while not fighting back
anymore

Ain't the road thzt donev Jack in

Premium Member Jazz Dance

Expressive dance that communicates emotion.
Energetic dance inspired by the jazz sound,
creating a lively, fun and high-energy motion.
Graceful, expressive movements that are profound,
like in lyrical jazz, need hours of practice and devotion. 
Evoking emotions to convey and astound.

Premium Member 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

Premium Member saxophone


sound of blues ripples on--
smokey tunes blowing hot
sizzling flamed mood...it's jazz!
sax notes intoxicate
swirling like coltraine's grind,
soulful trance whips my breath...
spice of night,   weekend jives!
