Reflections On A Blue Note a la Turk
One two one two one two three
Brubeck counted differently
Long straight fingers hit the keys
Thelonious Monk, so playfully!
Classy Duke, composed and played
Sometimes swing or serenade
Louis Armstrong on the horn
Dizzy, Miles, be-bopped til morn…
Soulful singing swing with scat
Armstrong, Ella, Mel all sang like that
Improvising melody or chords
Coltrane, Parker, saxophone lords
Hip hop, rock. and R&B
Influenced by jazz, you see
One two one two one two three
Let’s take five
Jazz sets us free
