Jazz Thing (Album Version) - Robert Hurst[00:00:00]

Written by：L.E. Elie/B. Marsalis/C. Martin/K. Elam[00:00:01]

I would like to play a little tune[00:00:01]

I just composed not so long ago[00:00:03]

Ms. Billie Ms. Billie Ms. Billie Holiday[00:00:07]

Byrd[00:00:17]

The music called jazz[00:00:24]

It's roots are in the sounds of the African[00:00:46]

Or should I say the mother[00:00:47]

Bringing us back again[00:00:49]

From the drumming on the Congo[00:00:51]

We came with a strong flow[00:00:52]

And continue to grow[00:00:54]

Feet move to the beat of the t'balo[00:00:55]

Now dig the story and follow[00:00:58]

For then it landed on American soil[00:01:00]

Through the sweat the blood and the toil[00:01:03]

Hear[00:01:05]

Praise the Lord shouted on chain gangs[00:01:05]

Pain they felt but it helped them to maintain[00:01:07]

Scott Joplin's rags[00:01:10]

Bessie Smith's blues[00:01:11]

St. Louis blues they were all the news[00:01:12]

Ringing smooth in all the listeners ears[00:01:14]

Fulfilling the needs and planting the seeds[00:01:17]

Of a jazz thing[00:01:19]

King Oliver's group was a train coming through[00:01:24]

To Chicago bringing the New Orleans groove[00:01:26]

And when Satchmo blew the audience knew[00:01:28]

Basil Street blues was the whole house tune[00:01:31]

It was music great to dance to[00:01:33]

Great to romance to with a lot to say to you[00:01:36]

Relaying a message revealing the essence[00:01:38]

Of a jazz thing[00:01:40]

In the 40's came be-bop the first be-bop[00:01:43]

The real be-bop so let me talk about[00:01:45]

Diz' and Byrd giving the word[00:01:48]

Defining how a beat could be so complete[00:01:50]

Playing with ferocity thinking with velocity[00:01:52]

About ornathology or anthropology[00:01:55]

And even and this is real history[00:01:57]

Theolonious Monk a melodious thunk[00:01:59]

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

His conception was re condite[00:02:04]

A star glowing bright among dim lights[00:02:07]

The critics did cite that he sounded alright[00:02:09]

Charlie Mingus such nimble fingers[00:02:11]

Droppin the bass all over the place[00:02:14]

And Max Roach cymbals socking[00:02:16]

Bass drum talking snare drum rocking[00:02:19]

Restructuring the metaphysics[00:02:21]

Of a jazz thing[00:02:23]

John Coltrane a man supreme[00:02:30]

He was the cream he was the wise one[00:02:33]

The impression of Afro Blue[00:02:36]

And of the promise that was not kept[00:02:38]

He was a GIANT step[00:02:40]

And there was Ornette Coleman[00:02:42]

He was another soul man[00:02:44]

The original invisible playing great music[00:02:45]

I wonder why the[00:02:48]

Bangles couldn't use it[00:02:49]

Now listen see[00:02:51]

The real mystery is how music history[00:02:52]

Created by white men or any other white man[00:02:54]

That pretended he originated uh-huh[00:02:57]

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

A jazz thing[00:03:02]

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

Scheamin on the meaning[00:03:05]

Of a jazz thing[00:03:06]

And this music ain't dead so don't be misled[00:03:42]

By those who said that jazz was on it's deathbed[00:03:44]

Cause when Betty Carter sings a song[00:03:47]

Ain't nutting going on but simply good music[00:03:49]

And you won't refuse it[00:03:53]

She's taking her time making the nuances rhyme[00:03:54]

Sonny Rollins tenor saxophone[00:03:57]

With a big old tone reciting poems[00:03:59]

With notes as words and haven't you heard[00:04:01]

Next stop butter right past oleo[00:04:04]

Now there's young cats blowing[00:04:06]

And more and more people yes they will be knowing[00:04:08]

Jazz ain't the past this music's gonna last[00:04:11]

And as the facts unfold remember who foretold[00:04:13]

The 90's will be the decade of[00:04:15]

A jazz thing[00:04:18]

A jazz thing[00:04:21]

A jazz thing[00:04:23]

A jazz thing[00:04:28]

A jazz thing[00:04:32]

A jazz thing[00:04:37]
