Текст песни Is That Jazz? - Gil Scott-Heron



Basie was never really commonplace
He was always measures ahead
And Ellington was more than number one
For the music and things that he said
Bird was the word back when tenors were heard
From Kansas right up to the Prez, Lester Young
And Billie was really the Queen of a scene
That keeps echoing on in my head
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz?
Miles had a style that amazes and raises
The spirits from deep in your soul
'Trane struck a vein of laughter and pain
Adventures the mind could explore
Stevie and Bob talk of freedom and Jah
In their own individual ways
Playing and singing as long as it's bringing
A message is all that it says
What is has will surely last but is that Jazz?
We overanaylze we let others define
A thousand precious feelings from our past
When we express love and tenderness
Is that Jazz? Is that Jazz? Is that Jazz? Is that Jazz?
Dizzy's been busy while Grover gets us over
With notes that go straight to the heart
Brother Ron gets it on with a bassline so strong
That the sounds seem to glow in the dark
I take pride in what's mine is that really a crime
When you know I ain't got nothing else?
Only millions of sounds picks me up when I'm down
Let me salvage a piece of myself
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz?
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz?
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz?
What it has will surely last but is that Jazz?
