Jazz-Quartet
Jazz-Quartet
Rabbit cuts a silk-rug, red-tie, apple pie
elephant slouch on a melodic-couch
string-bean in a brass flow, let it go
spuds and suds in sync at the brink
blare, bloom-toot, bang-tang, zoom-tune
swoon-echo —blat.-blat. whoot-hoot
swish dash-clash, tap-tap, tap-wriggle
sweet-surge—swing-wing on the bridge
Trumpet riff and sax solo — mud-wallow
Guitar sparkle and tattered drum rattle
bring it home to mama/ big blue- sky
shakin’ it loose –-finger-walkin’ on clouds.
Ya-Ya yeh in a blue fug before red bricks
bar glasses clink, Dixieland-drink – blaze
Just to touch the green-green haze
meadow-lark sliding home— Hot-waves!

The unbelievable glorious sounds of music
that tingle our spine. Improve on the edge.
