Explanation
Jazz is an American musical art form which originated around the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the Southern United States from a confluence of African and European music traditions. The style's West African pedigree is evident in its use of blue notes, call-and-response, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation, and the swung note of ragtime.
From its early development until the present, jazz has also incorporated music from 19th and 20th century American popular music, which is based on European music traditions. The word jazz began as a West Coast slang term of uncertain derivation and was first used to refer to music in Chicago in about 1915; for the origin and histor.
Jazz has, from its early 20th century inception, spawned a variety of subgenres, from New Orleans Dixieland dating from the early 1910s, big band-style swing from the 1930s and 1940s, bebop from the mid-1940s, a variety of Latin-jazz fusions such as Afro-Cuban and Brazilian jazz from the 1950s and 1960s, jazz-rock fusion from the 1970s and later developments such as acid jazz.

it is going go snow -
please, dear,
become a contrabass
On a cold evening, when both are home alone, snow is expected, but there is a gentle mood in the room, maybe listening to some Jazz music.

Things found on the way

HAIKU
On Tuesday, June 17, I found myself in the heart of upscale consumerism, at the corner of 57th St. and Park Ave. in Manhattan.
Within a block there are these stores:
Coach
Mont Blanc
Dior
Chanel
Burberry
Tiffany
Tourneau
I normally don't shop at these stores, although my wife does have a Coach bag.
The reason I was there was to attend a jazz performance, hosted by Oris (watchmaker) and WBGO, the best jazz radio station in America, if not the world.
The performance took place behind the Tourneau (watches) store, in a glass-enclosed atrium, almost the size of a plaza. As usual for events like this in New York City, especially if they are free, the several hundred chairs that had been set up were filled, and there was a standing-room crowd as well.
I heard a performance by the Eric Reed Quartet, consisting of a piano, string bass, drums, and tenor sax. They played be-bop- influenced now-classic jazz.
The multi-ethnic crowd of listeners were from all walks of life.
There were the well-dressed and the casually-dressed. I was sitting next to an elderly African-American lady.

While working an overnight shift for a local fire department last night, I found myself writing run reports in front of an open window, listening to 1940's jazz and driving my country-ass partner nuts.

I already knew that jazz is influenced by African culture and I think this makes it even more interesting .
