JAZZ 38. ORNETTE (DANCING IN YOUR HEAD, LIVE UNDER THE SKY FESTIVAL, 1986)

Averse to persuasive,

fragment shapes,

Beckoning headlands,

Tightly the diving shies

Free of the falling

Ambi-squeak, omni-heavenly,

Mighty erasing

Country carousal.

What we came from for

What from

From what

The decay in

The brain

The talking

Gibbering

Jailhouse

Jumping.

The present’s

The method.

___________________________________________________________

JAZZ 37. ALICE COLTRANE (BLUE NILE, 1970)

Therapeutic solutions, shot through with flow,

Disabled brain,

The sensuous unspellable locations.

The déjà vu in a patterned hat,

The déjà vu in a glance,

The déjà vu in a déjà vu

All symptomatic stations

Vericose very close veins

Toward a philosophy

Breaking in eighths,

And those going

Under eventually

To rivers you never

Wended, the dark

Deep fooling.

Biographies

Auto or alone

Simple stories

To adjust by

But lies

unknown.

JAZZ 35. FIRTH / MORI / PARKINS (sound. at REDCAT, 2007)

What it sounds as if the memory were sure.

So many errors one never sees even.

Compounding of forgiving the liquids the

Distillating situations arisen from a dark

Only justified in equating proximates. So

As buddhas laughing one can not be but

Wondering the cars and their thermal

Metal and the sun with its sexual intention

Laughing to a common heraldry here

And now though there is no now or

Though space remaining (take away

the things) (on which thingness situates) in

this habitat, habits at zen desert centers.

________________________________________________________

JAZZ 34. DEREK BAILEY/ EVAN HUNTER (IMPROVISATION, 1985)

To not write analogous, or as synonym in image,

To document the spaces co-rising, no trying to

Impress the connection (sea lions) (moving)

The roses mean nothing but living let us

Witness the nothing to nod to. Branches of

What you came with as absence presence

Measure (proximity, volume, sexuality).

The house lowers its factual landing on the

Entire enterprise, the sitting, the drifting,

All segments of gestural gestalt, (seas)

(ions) so even the so is causal lotion and

never the sense of breakage of jamming

tectonics. At point, of ink, which is water.

For Ben Friedlander

JAZZ 33. ALLAN HOLDSWORTH / JOHN STEVENS (LIVE 1978)

Googlebotted sotted sodded plotted plodded lauded

Audited. I did it. I didn’t. Eden not. Eye den not.

Macrocephalous. My crow is fallacious.

False headed. Microcy. Small lousy selves rowing.

Frazzled. As isles led from. Lead aside isles.

A side isle is an an as is. From what side?

Identified the lost hope.  The tiled file host loss.

Tie dents filed in I STOP. The open endless.

Revolution is wholesome. Revolving less lutes.

Who leases oms? Is some lover you shun?

Witness to weather and death. Deatherness.

It gerunds to wheat and ether. Too next to.

All in one water later. New retail. In lying.

Wait in Nile. At her only error terrace.

_____________________________________________________

JAZZ 32. MINGUS (FLOWERS FOR A LADY, AT UMBRIA, 1974)

The personal is a crime.

Elevators obey stories.

Numbers of ways to burn.

Pass the romantic hat on.

Always everything decontexted identity constructs fictions.

Thursday was here Tuesday.

Salem witches in britches.

Cedars in swing shaken ache.

Codes of lonelinesssssssssss.

Angels relieve themselves waiting for your inspiration.

Hive year handles hurrahs

Pens sodden with lust dust.

Nothing holy, wholly plural.

The zygotes unswim in sin.

Sympathy’s the stink think needed art asks of none

_____________________________________________________________

JAZZ 31. NICOLE MITCHELL AND BLACK EARTH ENSEMBLE (METAMORPHISIS, 2005)

The Paris Commune a climate change story, notify

Max Thursday. Intel Micro, novel vowel usage, flows

Into districts, scanning the wires, he always enters

With his mouth made to revolt in simmering shade.

Hard to copy what’s a fiction invested in identity

Like a human refusing internal difference, land of

Lakes and advocacies: 00636920, system of codes

And entelechies, pixels of rains, appointments in

Unsuitable rural locations. They grab you with answers

None believe in, just a bit of a dash, and enticing

Vents sends one assets management lectures. Subtle

Auto-zombification, in crutchless vantages, Mai Tais

Out of reach, 2.4 Ghz, your community starch mission,

Poetry zones for hovering and covering, nights of

Mindless mannerisms, impressed by weather patterns,

Supplying lions with people to go out and own.

_________________________________________________________

JAZZ 30. MCCOY TYNER QUARTET (MOMENT’S NOTICE, 2002)

The words are already unintelligible there’s no need to

Make any tha’ way—belief’s a river of stones—being

So, drifts decoys. In apparent necessity the fraud is

Actualized into knees on the table realism which is

An ism of odd forgiveness. Habits swarm. The xylophone

Charms into memory an African dictator late as the

Wasps retrieving vast apparent paper and hanging

Under eaves, Wall Street becomes lunch and brittle

Children xrayed in phases of the sun. You see the

Allusion in the sentence is to something other than

The sense in the stream and this drifting lifts us but

Little for the floating is summer submersible and

Wives arrive under eaves in sacred anchorages,

The phonemes believing what they seem to hear.

For Steve Timm

JAZZ 29. PETER BRÖTZMANN CHICAGO TENTET (AMSTERDAM, 2009)

(while using ISR, issue 78)

The United States attempted typically Islamist at times,

The left, FREEDOM, from self-isolation, edge the,

Mayoral race in situational harmony, an influential

Income distribution, $20000 for a six day hospital

Stay, when the Civil war blue sky behind thin hanging

Leaved trees, but they did, the soil exhausted as Buddha

Under the Bo tree. Transcriptions not deconstruction,

Obama promised, into Swat, the struggle with an energy

Source, mothers many localities, who cares about

Scarabs in strict codes lazy intellectual leadership,

Poems insist on dietary restraint to the point of no

Questioning their usefulness though war too is useless,

The contexts said, mercy and mellow pillows even

When structural adjustments the same head remains.

______________________________________________________

JAZZ 28. DEREK BAILEY (AT TONIC, NYC, 2003)

California. Califia. Foreign night.

Bitten. In the smidge. Red letters in blue.

You stumble in space, like a chasing angle,

Imparted, deserted, lofts of air in the city.

Dark markers in a shaded maze, combs,

Love you, then measures of investigation.

Twins in every building beside the the the.

Buddhas, useless humor, reminders.

Associative connectivity is sterile sense.

It burns like a buzzard in the hearing.

Stomping and staring, video, gray lady,

Murdoch, as if the remembering was a

Facet into facing a place a present. A

Docile nude wrapped in plastic.

______________________________________________________________

JAZZ 27. BILL EVANS TRIO (NARDIS, LIVE AT UMBRIA, 1978)

Yellow swelling into blue universe. Catching systems.

Mired and impressive living and breathing and west

Of the saids, the stations careen in cars with death

In the beams.

All talk is of Iraq and Afghanistan and hunger and

Whores, no one asserts the words

That sends the centers breeding into

Faith places (a joke in few) (loosening

Humor) (drudgery). Pliant righteousness

Saves the days, pricks the swaggering apes,

Down the coast into the redwoods,

Smoke on the shore.

For Catherine Meng

_________________________________________________________

JAZZ 26. BILL EVANS TRIO (GLORIA’S STEP, 1972)

A of the be few microtextual moments,

Sloped sense of (parsed) (Plutonic)

Garbled blown love by acrid ocher.

Steps upon heroic islands of dicey

Play, minor, shapes, telltale, ear

Meaning you division in.

Head an unblessed mess, shallow,

Deo, Neo, Retro, Metro,

Plucked by a number of elements

Into freezing the seasons so,

Allowing beaches pleasing

Geese (certain war then

Lawfully unlaws itself) grazed

By each memory of such

Lengthening impenetrable longing.

As if the several members of the

Samefacedness made graceful

Occasions clear, near you.

______________________________________________________

JAZZ 25. TAKAYANAGI W/ ZORN (YOKOHAMA)

 

Mystery of trees in leaning feeling

What mirrors know

Or seldom meant (softly) (agony)

So intelligible of loft, parlance of

Especial spiders, the music of

Nylons in ballons humorously

Fictive winds, no stop only gorillas.

Gangplankdom, bees, let the

Method develop ocelots,

Odd little mixtures of misunderstood

Sources whom eye-lighting does

In, AB 01 000059, point of

Ands and ceilings, views of

Slow lands, teleoptics,

So threads of others.

___________________________________________________________________

JAZZ 24. BRAXTON (LIVE AT JAZZ ALDIA, 2008)

 

Horses natural valence snubbing love,

Furor over open inherited winds,

Diminishing. Identification.

Bracket.

 

Flexible, confirmation, Wednesday.

Into this absence a paltry halting

Significance, then a tide of

Unknowing.

 

Rats, north, services, to the notches.

Criteria. Envelopes. Spoken hopes,

Results in each answer supply

Relief to the villagers.

 

Perfect hydrogen hypostasis.

Sounding pointing to wireless

Acceptance of scales, pines, no

Signals by.

JAZZ 23. KAORU ABE (PIT INN TEA ROOM, 1972)

 

Snooze loosening abtuse movements,

Lemons, sense-organs, maladaptive trance.

 

No one cares of silos in zones of your ions.

Nor brunch amid brazen mistaken lay people.

 

And what of the torpor we’re having?

Sooner and later, the crossing off into fog.

 

Reminding of horror songs in fallen ovaries.

The deal done, the figures with mouths, and

 

All along carrying a character you’ve believed

In, to no avail, the moon finding you anyway.

__________________________________________________

JAZZ 22. TAKAYANAGI (MASS HYSTERISM, 1980, LIVE AT MOERS)

To say it is the same is not the same same.

Trading tens, pulses of little fictions in the eyes,

Believe what the bird told yah, and the ambulance.

The same maintenance of voice in an agreed upon

Sensibility to know who one is why it was if they

Had assembled you, tacked up, jarred awake.

The trouble with mushrooms. The instant he said

Stranger we wised up to him and herons and

Community, which is a feint relationship. So,

In no conclusion, in separate lines broken

By intervening lines, bisected by thoughts

Of a future-present prerogative, the past

Shading itself in a language of dinging

The bells in the tracery, there is a this ism,

At-several embarkments, blow and bless


______________________________________________________________________


 

JAZZ 21. SCHEPP (JAZZ JAMBOREE, WARSAW, 1978)

This disorder. This disordinance. This disorderly

Dogmatic hello.

In small talk angles shape a certainty around which

Uncertainty impedes and aggresses.

Values dotting the branches on the lashes.

Circumspection of French-speaking unequals.

Crossed-off, layered, mitotic, simultaneous.

They come over and roast you in awkward love.

My, my, my and overtures of restraint, wish clinging.

Yesterday the forms around your mouth as words clobbered us

Into humanity. A branch of which is absence. The gathering

In, towers, subways, camera shop bilkings. Sundresses then

And inner enmities,

Dangling, everything dangling like a lake

On a vertical vortex.

JAZZ 20.WORLD SAXOPHONE QUARTET (BANLIEUES BLEUES, 2009)

Tacit absence of lactation, figurines in stark shambles,

Let us pray.

Murmurs in windows, you said you were

A ghost in your life or that life was a ghost,

With no smells of hell.

The tape adjusts to the asking.

Intelligible avenues.

Sears, swearing before Congress, seers

Of black magic.

The down sugar motions—days train themselves

Into go-between informants of later faces

Forming in absorbed rooms.

No one notices you and you are then

A payment away from a cloud occurring.

______________________________________________________________

JAZZ 19. TAKAYANAGI (ECLIPSE, 1975)

Artificial doctor components in lily loud mama.

Perception is a gate toward aleph beta massage.

Division of able. Portending. So many Art is

Statements one needs a headache.

Watching the raspberries, few planes here,

Inducements to come, to listen to, threads,

Abjections, jack-offs. Stern, cloudy, cars.

I involved in logico-ethical brainplatedness.

Resolving a survey, a dark thank you, inbetween

Agreed-upon values, loss of hair, in testament

To westerners. Still, the stories come, allowing

No one any air. It’s fogging up.

Longing is.  Mighty swine of you to say so.

Habits babble inconsequential hills there,

Complaints of hatred, high-fives, impressing

The registers of the odes.

__________________________________________________________________

JAZZ 18. DOLPHY (OUT TO LUNCH)

Buoyant black silver hills, Yuba, all should be visible

Strangers, dells, brown heart. The clear acceptance

Of lake, insecurity, of cocky documents. Cancel. Help.

Through them.

Days fabled and verticality smash in center of bells,

You are seldom understood in your Basque mansion,

Baroque bathroom, your bathetic abruptness.

Skies develop amnesias.

Into what sense of space, rhetors turn in cylindrical

Absteminous love, decoyed on wires, purloined

Tabled, enveloped, nodding, nascent purpose.

Shading way of why inside whom.

____________________________________________________________

JAZZ 17. GUSTAFSSON W/  MOORES (2009)

Identity so soft toward bend in expression

Character devolves habits of

So one follows a bone home toward how.

Little spaces of sun amid crazy

Laters and mental hospital socks.

Retrieval of sense from a from

That is distance of air but caring

No then or now but beautiful abyssal

Impressions around which to

Leave trees in the foreground

And walk back to room.

______________________________________________________________

JAZZ 16. AYLER (THE TRUTH IS MARCHING IN)

We having paying we mistakenly

Embrace the love of the other

In the fiction of the first mission.

The turning in is a brewer’s fuse

In a year of townish camaraderie.

A dark cowardly toxicity accompanies the granite amulet whispers

In marriages, whereof

The sweet shadows in line on the fallen wall.

____________________________________________________________

JAZZ 15. TAYLOR/BARKER (FRANKFURT 1995)

Egyptian radio or radiation gypping us

The saws swarms five knives the moles

From ectoplasm froth identities

The weathering in the present. What

Matters the fertile linearity of guns in

Stomachs. No one around in the sound.

There’s a shallow hardly heard

Supposition of struggling, fevers, cats

And answers underwhelming. This is

Coming to this. It was does day amble.

JAZZ 13. DAVIS/JARRETT (CALL IT ANYTHING, 1970)

Cybergleaming impromptu palindromes.

Forestalling mitotic compunction.

The red sky lies and lies and said desert.

Identical is not identical.

Metadata bridges your sexual

Bicameral

Longing. Like a kite,

Nodes, grunts, wars.

The apartness is apparent.

Diagnosis of a dream

Proving the world a sacred buzzing instability,

Quietly nightly wrapping plans.

Go with the one you aim with.

___________________________________________________________________

JAZZ 12. SUN RA ARKESTRA (TWIN STARS OF THENCE)

Insular axon of neuron,

Down down there in triplets,

The moon douses its daughters,

And prearranges the slim

Distances between the figments

Of orangutans.

Clap it. Snap it. Glad dip

In language’s art of deception,

Where you were saying

So many nice tings

That meant the other sides

Had water altars

To a frog god’s hospital.

_________________________________________________________________

JAZZ 11. LAST EXIT (LIVE FRANKFURT 1986)

In relation to synonym, in analogous

Formation,

The dendrites,

The lunar compulsion to think of evenhanded operas

While missing the doldrums

Of lumbering inside vocables.

Here is a saw. A sensation,

Dangling, in relation to,

What is the feather underpinned identity

Realized in factual abasement---

Schooled in—

Shooed out—

As puzzles like to create the same

Meaning in accordance with

Symmetry of associations,

Word groups are misses.

They leave fealty and are

Whores of concurrence.

_________________________________________________________________

JAZZ 10. ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO W/ CECIL TAYLOR (LIVE 1984)



Just the issuance of this and this and this and this.

Parboilings, fictive faces, the reasoning

Allows the impertinent certainties

To drain.

What that war means, what that occupation feather that Equator

Elevating the supreme

Rising up is.

Is an amphitheater of pain

Mainly. Fishes, song-saws, cats in the barley,

The killers are coming and balloons and Time and this

Measures in the air with a rain and agony,

Whips, drunks, cellars,

Microbial jungles, screams in the ether otherness.

JAZZ 9.MINGUS/DOLPHY (TAKE THE A TRAIN)



Horse head in amber art, you are there,

In the staring impregnable inquisition.

Layers of palsy, fluttering instinctual

They say.


Keep coming to me, minuses

Abstractions in plaited

Alphabets, your love an oven

Or some this way flets.


Trainers all in training,

Buddhic usurpers

Supping on nothing,

The tremendous


Answering back in binomials,

Bicuspids, trilaterals,

July flying away

Into tubas, grammar ladders.



____________________________________________________________________

JAZZ 8. COLTRANE/DOLPHY (IMPRESSIONS)







The alarm of the arm in the martyr.



Art excuses no one.



Art excuses no one.



Be there a bonobo in chastity of advancing



Litmus, or



Musings in a room



Frequented by few upholsterors.



You said it, winsome wind.



The future is madeup, as is the secret



Scent of the present.



Bibles will not make you alumni,



Nor the fictional sky,



Bruised by clouds



Observed in an angle of a cave



That rain changes.



No rescue in the offing.



The tissue issuance missing you.



You are all about the town.



Plural, instantaneous.

JAZZ 7.MEHLDAU (ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE)



Izz, izz, izz, am, am, hood.

Felt a way was leaning in on.


There’s no hollow here:

Later lake, transcribed data.


Histrionic sea, leavings,

Falstaffian taffy.


You know the reasons.

They show you the low how in the way.

JAZZ 6.POWELL (TEMPUS FUGUE-IT)




Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Spaces, mazes, Dr. Mental.

The staring, the stairs
To you,

Ingested,

No remedy you can’t escape.

The feeling comes on.

Your mother was never right.

The feeling comes on.

The entrances, there are those.

Those that come and wonder.

Take this place.

Take this face.

 JAZZ 4.SANDERS (ASTRAL TRAVELLING)



The door is a forgotten frown,
Luring a leftover head,
In case of bees
and feelings.

Welcome.
It rises up. Like a fiction
Of a situation
Many counted on counting.

Last year your face
Changed and the annuals
Erupted and the fierce
Teasing pleasing

Plummeting began.
It comes in. And birds
Triangulate, scores of
Red letters, as in windows.
