Serious Music

My Spirit is Talkin’ some Jazz

Celebratin’ Billie’s Holiday with Wynton

Packin’ for a Serious Headtrip

Ridin’ Coltrane for Miles

And eatin’ Barbeque on the “A” Train to a Free Africa

My Spirit is

Gatherin’ together scattered First World Notes

And singin’ ‘bout the US of Africa -

You know, bE BoP, Be bOp, the Real U.S. of A.

Scattin’ with Ella

And mixin’ the Reds, Blacks, and Greens wit’ the Blues

Dancin’ with Nubian Ancestors on Somba Days and Arabian Nights

My Spirit is Talkin’

Wakin’ me up in the Middle of Life

Attachin’ Notes to my braids and swingin’ on by the Savoy for the Victory Party

Blowin’ tan, coffee, mahogany, and ebony saxophones

And poppin’ rainbow colored fingers to three/quarter Nation Time Celebratin’ Opening Night on the Continent

My

Spirit

Is

Talkin’

Some Jazz

What’s Yours Doin’?
