Description:

“If the truth were known about the origin of the word 'Jazz' it would never be mentioned in polite society.” ["Étude," Sept. 1924]

“Life, vigor, energy, effervescence of spirit, joy, pep, magnetism, verve, virility, ebulliency, courage, happiness — oh, what’s the use? — JAZZ. Nothing else can express it”. [E T “Scoop” Gleeson in the San Francisco Bulletin, March 1913]

A little ode to jazz, it’s fine lingo, the dance, the spirit, the joy, the pep, the magnetism, verve, virility, ebulliency, courage and happiness, and most of all, to the music… Shot with virtually no budget but with a lot of help from a lot of VERY kind and talented friends. Get ready for a one way ticket to flipsville…
