What's jazz
Originating in America
An African and European mix
But then all this is
known to everyone
No fun to hear all that you know
What's jazz
You know of
Count Basie John Coltrane
Louis Armstrong
and all those namse
You know they made
the different styles we hear
The Swing Be bop and Dixieland
But is Jazz a style
Or just the rhythm played
And will it still be jazz
Without the improving style
Is it an American thing
a culture ald and boring
Does it have to be done the way
that they've played
cause isn't jazz
supposed to be fun and free
You know
l haven's studied to
sing at school
l don't know bout
all the chords they use
the music theory
that they play is too
Confusing for ny simple mind
You see
Ella villie and anita
taught me all i know
That's how i sing my jazz
That's not jazz
Or It's a provilege
We've heard them many times
But don't you see it's not logic
Miles Davis is great to hear
But try a different ear
4Hero Jazzanova Matthew herbert
'Cause otherwise you're saying
That jazz is dead
One thing
Let me explain I do love the old
But I'm living in the present now
To me the music jazz is our spirit
Like Blues and Soul and also Rock
That's jazz
That's why i sing as i sing today
And I'll be singing all i feel
That's jazz
That's why i sing as i sing today
And I'll be singing all i feel
That's jazz
