Jazz is Everywhere

JazzDay

Every day is a Jazz Day,

Every sound is the sound of jazz

Every person

Offers their chorus to the world

Because

Jazz is everywhere

​

In these confinement days I persist, I insist, I want to keep on

Keep on trying

Keep on creating

Keep on breathing

Keep on imagining new worlds,

New words,

New bonds between you and them,

Between them and us,

Between me and you, me and her

New ways to talk about Love.

​

All is possible,

Everything can be.

I decide to chant walking down the street

In the middle of the sound 

Of a few kids laughing,

Amidst the noise of cars passing by,

The rhythm of a thousand birds in the trees,

Inside the dance of the rare people silently walking

In the murmur of life.

I decide to chant no matter my feelings,

To be part of Life

Because I am part of Life

Because Jazz

Takes part in Life.

​

Jazz is everywhere

​

In these circumstances where we seem enclosed

I decide to go singing everywhere --

Outside

Inside

Beside...

I stay in

I go out

Everyday

Amongst people

In the noise of life

That is so precious.

Oh   How do we realize the preciousness of noise, rhythm and sounds

When we are in such a silence,

Listening to ourselves in the depths of our homes,

Wondering deep inside

What kind of a world do we want to design with our hands.

What kind of life

Do we want to create under our feet while we're walking ?

A new World

A new Earth

​

I am walking

You are walking,

She, he is walking on new earth --

Unknown earth growing under our feet 

While we put one foot in front of the other.

A New Earth is emerging from  nowhere all along our way.

Footprints give life to life.

​

This new score we don't know

But we know our dreams.

        And so

We jump into the unknown

And swim and sing and swing our personal refrain.

​

It's my JazzDay everyday

Do you want that too ?

Do you want to sing this undiscovered life of yours every morning ?

Do you want to be the composer of your still unknown music ?

Beauty

Kindness

Freedom

​

I want to sing the noise of Life

Be it beautiful,

Be it sad,

Be it ugly,

Be it magic

It doesn't matter, all is blessed.
I choose to sing the Sound of Life.

I want to sing.  

​

Let me offer you

These moments

In the street when I steal blue sky for confinement,

In my kitchen with my cat singing its funny way giving me company,

In our home with my daughter who lives in the world of tomorrow,

A world I cannot visit unless she offers me to dream it with her...

​

Every day is a JazzDay

Let's do it !

Dare to do it !

Open what is closed

And sing 

Break what prevents you from breathing

And sing 

Sing low, sing loud, shout, cry, murmur, laugh ...

​

Make a sound.

Make a first sound,

Close your eyes, fly inside yourself.

Give a sound to the world.

Give that first sound

Go with it

​

See what is happening

​

It's your Jazz Day

​
