Satchmo, Miles, ‘Trane,
Pharoah, Diz,
tell you what a player is.
Sacramental blue high notes,
wails and honks and sailing boats.
Silence, violence, bleep to bawl,
horn of plenty says it all.
Horn of plenty, Blue Note, Verve,
hits a raw religious nerve.
Every time that these cats blow
God is putting on a show.
Horn of plenty, hear that sound,
six feet off or under ground.
