1959
A super seismic year
Eargasmically one to revere
Sweet pulsating sounds
Bebop starting to slow down
Yes! A new, a brand new, from an "OLD"
A new form that is undefined but it feels good to the soul
A new direction that's unclear
Improvisation is supreme with creativity filling the atmosphere
1959
A year so divine
One of a kind
Built to stand the test of time
Feeling "Kinda Blue", so I'm gonna take some "Time Out"
Miles and Brubeck delivering now fans beginning to see what this is all about
Oh, yeah! "Mingus Ah Um"
"The Shape of Jazz to Come"
Charles and Ornette standing tall, too
Jazzing on a musical flight to a "New"
Liftoff to the 'Birth of Cool'
Flying high and jazzing through music's vestibule
Then there is mighty 'Mongo' and sweet n savory 'Sabroso'
Santamaria serving zesty flavors to enliven the palate which made it hard to say no
Yes!
1959
A year so divine
One of a kind
Built to stand the test of time
