[00:00.000] 作词 : Camae Dennis/Thomas Stanley[00:00.401] 作曲 : Camae Dennis[00:00.803] Producer : Olof Melander[00:01.494] It is a peculiar word, jazz[00:04.415] Its illegitimate origins lost in the murky brothels where it was conceived and birthed[00:10.453] But many observers have told us that jazz used to mean sex[00:14.677] And maybe it needs to go back to meaning sex[00:17.493] To being identified with coitus and copulation[00:20.663] Hyper-creativity, fecundity, and birth[00:25.239] Ultimately, perhaps it is good that the people abandoned jazz[00:31.607] Replaced it with musical products better suited to capitalism's designs[00:36.368] Now jazz jumps up like Lazarus if we allow it[00:40.403] To rediscover itself as a living music[00:43.749] A subversive suture of inner movement, fertility, tension, and release[00:49.629] Released now from the prison bars of metrical stability[00:54.288] And the black and white keys of chromatic incarceration[00:57.943] Swing becomes a quantum oscillation of adventure[01:01.597] An expedition into chapters of Black history that did not survive the fires at Alexandria[01:07.652] A journey into Black futures that have not been lived and will not be realized[01:12.423] Unless and until we can dive into Willie Dixon's "Spoonful"[01:16.379] And bathe ourselves in that jazz[01:19.330] Pour it into our scalps[01:21.498] Massage it into our aching joints[01:23.938] Paint it across the soles of our feet[01:26.188] Then we can dance the Juba[01:28.310] Into New Congo Square[01:30.209] That Sonny has built for us[01:32.429] Between the rings of Saturn[01:34.440] Between C-sharp and B-natural[01:37.479] Be natural[01:38.979] Be natural
