The Juice Of Jazz
When I sing, I will do any thing
To get the sound I’m looking for.
Diatonic or chromatic,
Sacrificing text and lyric,
To be able
To make singing comfortable,
Each swinging beat
Fast, slow or sweet.
Singing tunes I carry on,
Doing tunes that feel honest,
Without fear of singing wrong(ly).
Not a single bar by rote,
Each intro real,
Each note a fraction of the whole,
Blessing my throat,
I rout out note,
The juice of jazz all filled with zeal,
