Is That Jazz - GilScott-Heron[00:00:00]
Basie was never really commonplace[00:00:16]
He was always measures ahead[00:00:18]
Ellington was more than number one[00:00:22]
For the music and things that he said[00:00:26]
Bird was the word back when tenors were heard[00:00:29]
From Kansas right up to the Prez[00:00:33]
And Billie was really the Queen of a scene[00:00:37]
That keeps echoing on in my head[00:00:40]
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz[00:00:43]
Miles had a style that amazes and raises[00:01:02]
The spirits from deep in your soul[00:01:05]
'Trane struck a vein of laughter and pain[00:01:09]
Adventures the mind could explore[00:01:12]
Stevie and Bob talk of freedom and 'Jah'[00:01:16]
In their own individual ways[00:01:19]
Playing and singing as long as its bringing[00:01:23]
A message is all that it says[00:01:27]
What is has will surely last but is that Jazz[00:01:30]
We overanaylze we let others define[00:01:40]
A thousand precious feelings from our past[00:01:44]
When we express love and tenderness[00:01:48]
Is that Jazz is that Jazz is that Jazz is that Jazz[00:01:51]
Dizzy's been busy while Grover gets us over[00:02:35]
With notes that go straight to the heart[00:02:38]
Brother Ron gets it on with a bassline so strong[00:02:42]
That the sounds seem to glow in the dark[00:02:45]
I take pride in what's mine is that really a crime[00:02:48]
When you know I ain't got nothing else[00:02:52]
Only millions of sounds picks me up when I'm down[00:02:55]
Let me salvage a piece of myself[00:02:59]
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz[00:03:03]
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz[00:03:10]
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz[00:03:16]
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz[00:03:23]
