Jamming geniuses - Wow!

                  Jitterbugging soul feels

        joyous, with not a care!

man 
like it was 
cool 
like an ice box 
left open 
in the heat 
as the jazz 
oozed 
out in 
statico beats 
of non-conformity 
to the jive 
laid down 
by the suits 
that live in black an white 
laced straight 
world 
without soul 
or 
knowing 
of the flamboyant 
dreams 
billowed by the wind 
of night....

                                        Eccentric but cool
                                        A vanguard of modern jazz
                                        Boldly blowing past bebop
                                        Challenging the status quo
                                        The magnetic Miles Davis...

Charlie and Louis
John and Miles
Bebop to Modal
Two different styles

Soul passions blowing
Harmonically through horns
Notes and chords flowing
One world and two forms

Two different times
Pioneering colossal movements
Mind-blowing lines
Luminating transitional attunements

Woodwind to brass
Saxing  and trumpeting
Sweet music long last
Four sultans  jazzing...

A ten-foot-high sunflower man
with a gold-capped tooth in his mouth but
there ain't no plan
yet he wears the same old knotty 
dreadlocks again and again
While walking himself through 
Black Folk's yard in that bebop-style
no doubt along the avenue road
while smoking some of that sweet sweet Gunga
Yet, him so full of himself
rasta man young rapper
you rapscallion, did you bring the juice...

Listen to poem:

The oomph and zing of extra spin
adds razzmatazz to shot akin
to the standing ovation din
a hole in one gets for a win.

The cream screams to the top.

The razzle and dazzle of dance 
shake, rattle and roll of romance 
is enhanced by the oddball prance
of a jitterbug jive freelance.

Bebop is king of pop.

Jazz embodies the extra dash
of syncopated mish and mash
adding gems of splish, splosh and splash
improvisation in a flash.

Flip-flop until you stop....
