A Summary

A Summary

If I could summarize jazz

in one word 

what would I say? 

Oh. 

Well, 

maybe I would say jazz is 

people.  

No wait. 

How about, 

adventure? 

Jazz is definitely 

adventurous. 

Daring? 

You kind of have to 

be daring to improvise...

oh and how about 

loving? 

or trusting? 

or accepting? 

It's a sound! 

Yes, a honk

whinny

coo

whisper

swing

step

bam 

boom

Can you hear it? 

But jazz, oh it's America's music!

Jazz is America! 

But wait, it's all over the world. 

Maybe then it's 

worldwide. 

Or it's not really where, but when. 

Jazz is whenever...

Jazz is now. 

If it's whenever, then who is jazz? 

Jazz is anyone. 

Everyone. 

You. 

Me. 

Him, her.

Them.

Wait, so do I define jazz? 

Because 

I can't even summarize it.
