I would like to play a little tune I just composed not so long ago [00:00:03]

Ms Billie Ms. Billie Ms Billie Holiday [00:00:06]

[00:00:09]

Byrd [00:00:16]

The music called jazz [00:00:23]

(A HA) [00:00:25]

It's roots are in the sounds of the African [00:00:45]

Or should I say the mother.. bringin us back again [00:00:46]

From the drummin on the Congo we came with a strong flow [00:00:50]

And continue to grow [00:00:53]

Feet move to the beat of the t'balo [00:00:54]

Now dig the story and follow [00:00:57]

For then it landed on American soil [00:00:58]

Through the sweat the blood and the toil [00:01:01]

Hear Praise the Lordshouted on chain gangs [00:01:04]

Pain they felt but it helped them to maintain [00:01:06]

Scott Joplin's rags Bessie Smith's blues [00:01:08]

St Louis blues they were all the news [00:01:10]

Ringin smooth.. in all the listeners ears [00:01:13]

Fulfillin the needs and plantin the seeds [00:01:15]

Of a jazz thing [00:01:17]

King Oliver's group was a train comin through [00:01:22]

To Chicago bringin the New Orleans groove [00:01:24]

And when Satchmo blew the audience knew [00:01:27]

Basil Street blues was the whole house tune [00:01:29]

It was music great to dance to [00:01:31]

Great to romance to with a lot to say to you [00:01:34]

Relaying a message revealing the essence [00:01:36]

Of a jazz thing [00:01:39]

(Jazz music) [00:01:43]

In the fourth's came be-bop the first be-bop [00:02:00]

The real be-bop so let me talk about [00:02:03]

Diz' and Byrd givin the word [00:02:05]

Defining how a beat could be so complete [00:02:07]

Playing with ferocity thinkin with velocity [00:02:10]

About ornathology or anthropology [00:02:12]

And even and this is real history [00:02:14]

Theolonious Monk a melodious thunk [00:02:17]

No mistakes were made with the notes he played [00:02:19]

His conception was re condite [00:02:21]

A star glowing bright among dim lights [00:02:24]

The critics did cite that he sounded alright [00:02:26]

Charlie Mingus such nimble fingers [00:02:28]

Droppin the bass all over the place [00:02:31]

And Max Roach cymbals socking [00:02:33]

Bass drum talking snare drum rocking [00:02:35]

Restructuring the metaphysics [00:02:38]

Of a jazz thing [00:02:40]

John Coltrane a man supreme [00:02:47]

He was the cream he was the wise one [00:02:50]

The impression of Afro Blue [00:02:52]

And of the promise that was not kept [00:02:54]

He was a GIANT step and there was Ornette Coleman [00:02:57]

He was another soul man [00:03:00]

The original invisible playing great music [00:03:02]

I wonder why the Bangles couldn't use it [00:03:05]

Now listen see [00:03:07]

The real mystery is how music history [00:03:09]

Created by white men or any other white man [00:03:11]

That pretended he originated uh-huh [00:03:14]

And contended that he innovated uh-huh [00:03:16]

A jazz thing [00:03:18]

Of course we know who can really blow [00:03:19]

Scheamin on the meaning [00:03:22]

Of a jazz thing [00:03:23]

And this music ain't dead so don't be misled [00:03:35]

By those who said that jazz was on it's deathbed [00:03:37]

Cause when Betty Carter sings a song [00:03:39]

Ain't nuttin goin on but simply good music [00:03:42]

And you won't refuse it [00:03:45]

She's takin her time makin the nuances rhyme [00:03:47]

Sonny Rollins tenor saxophone [00:03:49]

With a big old tone recitin poems [00:03:51]

With notes as words and haven't you heard [00:03:53]

NEXT STOP BUTTER RIGHT PAST OLEO [00:03:56]

Now there's young cats blowin [00:03:58]

And more and more people yes they will be knowin [00:04:00]

Jazz ain't the past this music's gonna last [00:04:03]

And as the facts unfold remember who foretold [00:04:05]

The ninety's will be the decade of [00:04:08]

A jazz thing I love jazz music [00:04:10]

A jazz thing I love jazz music [00:04:13]

A jazz thing I love jazz music [00:04:15]

I love jazz music a jazz thing [00:04:21]
