A brief introduction a spatter of polite applause recognizable, derivative tunes played in the manner of someone
famous so we can make them and us believe something musical is happening
it fits in dark barrooms, with red spot lights fetid washrooms and comely cocktail waitresses
in short skirts and boobs and a certain look in their eye when you slip them a bigger tip than you should
or would if they didn't have that short skirt
the boobs and the look
jazz ain't just music and its not some socialogical experiment a Ph. D. candidate can test theories on
it is a metaphor and music and feeling and wailing and screaming begging hoping loving
hating
