Can you hear the music?
It plays in the streets,
So sweetly does it sound,
As it pounds with each of its beats.
The saxiphone blares its tune,
Nothing more important said he,
The great musician Coltrane,
The music is enduring as it be.
Born in Hamlet, North Carolina,
Harlem New York far from he,
Harlem was known for a poor name,
Where Hamlet all but had great tea.
OBJD was also a famous band,
The first in fact,
To make a jazz record,
Front and back.
Many instruments are used in jazz,
Depending on the individual type,
The bands and singers would play and sing,
Some even smoken a pipe,
While playing the beat.
The double bass would be used often,
As the low notes played out,
Some would play so much,
They couldn't be sure what it was about.
The jazz drummer usually be the beat,
The rhytm as the drum sticks strung,
Scattering would go with the drums or bass,
As they made words to follow that among them.

So sweetly does it sound,
As it pounds with each of its beats.
