《Is That Jazz?》歌词

[00:00:00] Is That Jazz? - Gil Scott-Heron (吉尔·斯科特·赛壬)

[00:00:16] Basie was never really commonplace

[00:00:19] He was always measures ahead

[00:00:23] Ellington was more than number one

[00:00:26] For the music and things that he said

[00:00:30] Bird was the word back when tenors were heard

[00:00:34] From Kansas right up to the Prez

[00:00:36] That is younger

[00:00:37] And Billie was really the Queen of a scene

[00:00:40] That keeps echoing on in my head

[00:00:44] What it has will surely last but is that Jazz

[00:01:02] Miles had a style that amazes and raises

[00:01:06] The spirits from deep in your soul

[00:01:09] 'Trane struck a vein of laughter and pain

[00:01:13] Adventures the mind could explore

[00:01:16] Stevie and Bob talk of freedom and 'Jah'

[00:01:19] In their own individual ways

[00:01:23] Playing and singing as long as its bringing

[00:01:27] A message is all that it says

[00:01:30] What is has will surely last but is that Jazz

[00:01:41] We overanaylze we let others define

[00:01:45] A thousand precious feelings from our past

[00:01:48] When we express love and tenderness

[00:01:51] Is that Jazz Is that Jazz Is that Jazz Is that Jazz

[00:02:35] Dizzy's been busy while Grover gets us over

[00:02:39] With notes that go straight to the heart

[00:02:42] Brother Ron gets it on with a bassline so strong

[00:02:46] That the sounds seem to glow in the dark

[00:02:49] I take pride in what's mine is that really a crime

[00:02:52] When you know I ain't got nothing else

[00:02:56] Only millions of sounds picks me up when I'm down

[00:03:00] Let me salvage a piece of myself

[00:03:03] What it has will surely last but is that Jazz

[00:03:10] What it has will surely last but is that Jazz

[00:03:17] What it has will surely last but is that Jazz

[00:03:24] What it has will surely last but is that Jazz
