Jazzanatomy - James A. Emanuel


EVERYTHING is jazz: snails, jails, rails, tails, males, females, snow-white cotton bales.

Knee-bone, thigh, hip-bone. Jazz slips you percussion bone classified "unknown."

Slick lizard rhythms, cigar-smoke tunes, straight-gin sky laced with double moons.

Second-chance rhythms, don't-give-up riffs: jazz gets HIGH off can'ts, buts, and ifs.

[Original French Version]

Y a du jazz PARTOUT : chez veau, vache, cochon, couvée, blanche-neige et coton.

Genou, cuisse et hanche. Le jazz te secoue, te branche. Mais, dis, ça vient d'où ?

Peinard, lézard, cool, dans la fumée des cigares ; gin dans la lune saoule.

Rythmes qu'on rattrape, riffs à bout de souffle : le jazz PLANE quand ça dérape.
