Freddie Freeloader

 

Miles always so cool, so funky

knowing every exact note or

if not in perfect step with the

world’s groove anyway

 

…and sudden force ex

plodes, dig Trane do it

Yet says nothing, as if

meditating emptiness

of junk ‘til Cannonball

whispers, “Life’s really

worth living” and he’s

mirth given and there’s

something there

 

Wynton bringing it back home

proving no white boy can tickle

those black keys blue notes so

bright; Bill makes the album sad
