You 'get' Jazz, y'all? Know what jazz is? The ultimate free. Never the same twice, even played off of charts, because it's that player, that moment. It's a mainline from soul to soul, from the cats playin' to y'all. A swingin' wild trip to the real on a crashing wave of notes. Some cats who've played it gone insane finding the edge of that real.

Pop is for drinkin'. Bubblegum is for chewin.'

Jazz Is.
