[00:08.178]What's jazz
[00:10.115]Originating in America
[00:14.201]An African and European mix
[00:18.360]But then all this is known to everyone
[00:21.550]No fun to hear all that you know
[00:24.685]What's jazz
[00:26.629]You know of Count Basie John Coltrane
[00:30.867]Louis Armstrong and all those names
[00:34.818]You know they made the different styles we hear
[00:38.097]The Swing Be bop and Dixieland
[00:41.198]But is Jazz a style
[00:45.206]Or just the rhythm played
[00:49.396]And will it still be jazz
[00:53.349]Without the improvising style
[00:56.753]Is it an American thing
[01:01.652]A culture old and boring
[01:05.786]Does it have to be done the way that they've played
[01:09.841]Cause isn't jazz supposed to be fun and free
[01:14.064]You know
[01:16.056]I haven't studied to sing at school
[01:20.215]I don't know'bout all the chords they use
[01:24.407]The music theory that they play is too
[01:27.746]Confusing for my simple mind
[01:30.697]You see
[01:32.648]Ella Billie and Anita taught me all I know
[01:37.855]That's how I sing my jazz
[02:52.706]That's not jazz
[02:55.915]Or It's a privilege
[03:00.138]We've heard them many times
[03:04.423]But don't you see it's not logic
[03:07.653]Miles Davis is great to hear
[03:12.511]But try a different ear
[03:16.781]4 Hero Jazzanova Matthew Herbert
[03:20.972]Cause otherwise you're saying
[03:23.996]That Jazz is dead
[03:25.042]One thing
[03:27.057]Let me explain I do love the old
[03:31.065]But I'm living in the present now
[03:35.526]To me the music jazz is our spirit
[03:38.731]Like Blues and Soul and also Rock
[03:41.779]That's jazz
[03:43.691]That's why I sing as I sing today
[03:47.977]And I'll be singing all I feel That's Jazz
