Miles Davis
he wore his music
wore it well
nuanced chords
scattered hither and yon
spontaneous improv
that could not be taught
chords progressing
keys changing
scales ascending
descending / minor / major
a cursory nod to whatever
the original might have been
yes, he wore his music well
I love the flow and atmosphere of music here Helen! He wore it well indeed and yes that spontaneous improv can never be taught.
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
ReplyDeleteLove more the reflection of the piano keys inside the sunglasses.
Jazz is not my/our favorite...
Hugs,
Mariette
I like the title you give him, "Prince of Jazz." "Spontaneous improv that cannot be taught" wonderful way to describe the beauty of jazz. I watched Ken Burn's Jazz series and I loved hearing what the musicians said about its original music every time aspect.
ReplyDeleteFrom what i researched about him. He was not afraid to let his creativity shine through. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday Helen
Much love...
Either you're a fan or have been doing your homework, Helen! While I recognize his skill, he isn't quite my cup of tea. But your poem is!
ReplyDeleteHe inspired me to sing jazz.... thanks for this Helen x
ReplyDeleteHe wore it well indeed. Splendid effort here.
ReplyDeleteSmartly composed. He most certainly wore it well.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Dee
He wore it well, sound like a song title. I have it Rod Stewart "You Wear it Well" but, that was about clothes and this is about music which becomes the man.
ReplyDeleteWell done
He did indeed.
