Challenge: The perfect ten.

[ruminator]

I play the silence
between notes
the best



heya Ange

I've been quietly following you around.

 

[bluerains]

talking in sleeves

geometry is jazz
square corners rounded
blue listen to Thelonius

the blue monk sings
and plays on strings
from yesteryear

 

[bluerains]

oh give me analog

I play the silence
between notes
the best



heya Ange

I've been quietly following you around.

on and off
zero one

silence is
a harp unplucked..

 

[RhymeFairy]

on and off
zero one

silence is
a harp unplucked..

unpluck your fingers
from around stems,
of ice ...
frozen thorns

 

[Angeline]

on and off
zero one

silence is
a harp unplucked..

music is jazz
between the notes
big eyes for that

Duke's Sunrise

The Duke plays piano
and the New Orleans' sun
arises

The Duke plays
a New Orleans' sunrise
on his piano

harlem tuxedo wings
spread Duke's creschendo
sophisticated ladies

Broken beat

broken beat
dispels doubt
Brubeck closes
ancient book
in style

dave's notes crisp
apple tart jazz
whisper bass leaves
fall

 

[bluerains]

[The_Fool]

A touch of snare
In the background
Rides the bass

 

[ruminator]

worn steel
squeaks the progressive
licks all down
my neck.

 

[quietpoet]

Not enough fat?

Waller evocatively
shatters blue
chords, slickly
humorizing
pale face pretenders

dave's notes crisp
apple tart jazz
whisper bass leaves
fall

Finger-tricks tripping
through grooved frets
tipping scales

rappin smiles in cellars beat
stardust melds golden heat

It is from the Humming song!

Mull it over,
from the chandelier
the three of us...
