The Soul of Jazz


The soul of Jazz 

Where Jazz is soul 
And the soul of Jazz is within. 
Bringing back the days of old 
Where jazz was Jazz and Jazz was soul. 
Coltrane, Davis, The Duke playing in a style 
That lives and breathes like wild 
I love for the soul of Jazz 
And Jazz as soulfully divine 
A form of music you'll hear is no sin, 
But a crime if you mistreat it so 
Misuse it leaving it in the cold 
But loving every moment every-time. 
Progressions of change measure twine 
Notes conclude with one note blend 
A musical style that will never end 
The soul of Jazz as Jazz is full of soul 
And everybody who's somebody knows, 
Jazz is the purest sound of music 
Because it's the soul of Jazz as Jazz is soul.
