"Jazz"


Not of voice nor an utterance. Not a coming into language, - but without words, primeval, - communication nontheless. Pure melody- sound conduit of emotions sensual, visceral each note tickling not only the ear but permeating all which makes us human. Instrumental jazz riffs the rhythm smooth reminiscent of reveries, longing... spontaneous joy, play- translated into music.
