Oh, Jazz.
Jazz is like sex. Or, what I think sex would be like, as I haven't had done it yet.
Jazz is what rocked the youth culture of 1920's America and started a musical and social revolution.
Jazz is impassioned and wild and all consuming. It makes me wish I was capable of MORE feeling and MORE emotion than my frail human body can handle.
Jazz makes me hear in colors and see in emotions.

I just got back from The Green Door club in Hollywood where Tuesday night is Jazz night. There, in this beautiful club, I sat enraptured on a plush cushion, unaware of all the outrageously perfect-looking Hollywood types as I watched this scruffy group of black guys rock their instruments. The saxophone player was a dark chocolate shade of African and all you could see of him was his white eyes which would roll back when he played. The bass player couldn't stand still. The piano player couldn't stop smiling. The drummer's hands were flying so fast they could barely be seen amidst the glorious syncopation.
The music was unreal.
It was magical.
It was.... jazz.
