The Best of Jazz

Missing image

He hit the downbeat, found the blues,

Not to mention having no clues.

The jazz man could improvise and drag,

'Bad Penny Blues' an infamous rag.

 

Slurring between riffs with such ease,

Trumpet proud he stood out from the sleaze.

Vamp chords repeated for our delight,

dissonance of students in bars each night.

 

Jazz club hero Humph always will be,

Jam sessions when all tried to follow thee. 

And though no fun for your vetting,

His music alone was knicker wetting!

    Somehow your quirky meter fits a jazzman! You do need to get hold of some recordings of "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" because his sense of humour will match you to perfection. He was a man in a million.

    Oh Ms Jem this was great. I love jazz music especially the trumpet players (i used to play the trumpet myself). There is nothing any sweeter than listening to a great trumpet player. A very good write and good luck in the contest MsJem.
    Hugs,
    Cheryl

      Than you Cheryl. I glad you enjoyed my poetic jazz. I used to play sax in my uni jazz band. Think we murdered a fair few wonderful tunes.
