- Gene Fowler -
"Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time." - Ornette Coleman -

What about writing about Jazz? whoa.
When writing is good it feels like Jazz, Like a Coleman Sax solo. When it's bad it feels like..well..Writing.
Kerouac described his writing as "spontaneous bop prose,"
Jazz is about momentum. Movement.
Writing, when it works, is about the same thing.
