[00:00:08] What's jazz

[00:00:10] Originating in america

[00:00:14] An african and european mix

[00:00:18] But then all this is known to everyone

[00:00:21] No fun to hear all that you know

[00:00:24] What's jazz

[00:00:26] You know of count basie john coltrane

[00:00:31] Louis armstrong and all those names

[00:00:34] You know they made the different styles we hear

[00:00:38] The swing be bop and dixieland

[00:00:41] But is jazz a style

[00:00:45] Or just the rhythm played

[00:00:49] And will it still be jazz

[00:00:53] Without the improvising style

[00:00:56] Is it an american thing

[00:01:01] A culture old and boring

[00:01:05] Does it have to be done

[00:01:07] The way that they've played

[00:01:09] 'Cause isn't jazz supposed to

[00:01:12] Be fun and free

[00:01:14] You know

[00:01:16] I haven't studied to sing at school

[00:01:20] I don't know 'bout all the chords they use

[00:01:24] The music theory that they play is too

[00:01:27] Confusing for my simple mind

[00:01:30] You see

[00:01:32] Ella billie and anita taught me all I know

[00:01:37] That's how I sing my jazz

[00:02:52] That's not jazz

[00:02:56] Or it's a provilege

[00:03:00] We've heard them many times

[00:03:04] But don't you see it's not logic

[00:03:07] Miles davis is great to hear

[00:03:12] But try a different ear

[00:03:16] 4hero jazzanova matthew herbert

[00:03:20] 'Cause otherwise you're saying

[00:03:23] That jazz is dead

[00:03:25] One thing

[00:03:27] Let me explain I do love the old

[00:03:31] But I'm living in the present now

[00:03:35] To me the music jazz is our spirit

[00:03:38] Like blues and soul and also rock

[00:03:41] That's jazz

[00:03:43] That's why I sing as I sing today

[00:03:47] And I'll be singing all I feel that's jazz

[00:03:52] That's why I sing as I sing today

[00:03:56] And I'll be singing all I feel that's jazz
