So remember that JAZZ is my religion but it can be your religion too but JAZZ is a truth that is always black and blue (Ronny Graupe, poem by Ted Joans)

Here I inhale profounder strength / And as I am, I speak and move / And things are as I think they are / And say they are on the blue guitar (Ronny Graupe, poem by Wallace Stevens)
