  • FOR ELVIN JONES.
    BY Fly Agaric 23. Brooklyn. New York. 06 June 2004.

    Freer’ than the wind
    Ting Taka SizzzzzleCymbals Allied in ritual carpet ride
    Woven world trip to
    The stars

    Jitterbug perfume
    All up in the skins like Li Po Polyphonic Beats
    Wheeling Dazzling percussive warrior spirit
    FreeAscending Rolling Like thunder
    A space snarewayWithout punctuation

    Frozen Rhythmic weather patterns )+(
    Embellished with TurkishAlloysZinc
    CopperGold and golden soulsStix on bells
    Cymbal ping swing Music of trees Kisses
    The ear On the wind stereo
    know what I mean?
    Cosmogenetic sticknology
    Elvin with
    Coltrane

    And Chambers
    A mighty rain forest
    Oozing jazz nectar Juicy jazz fruits
    Sewing great seedsWith reeds
    Drums Strings and Thumbs
    Timeless astral flame and ice
    Dripping fireAblaze yet cool

    Birch snares Walking bass upstairs
    To bedInstant zen dreaming Steaming locomotion
    A voyage toward supreme vortex
    Train tracks
    Bullet time sssssshhhhhissshhhhhiiiizzzzlllleeee
    Crash Snap Snap Stix
    AhoyBeats crumble like Dali’s cookies
    Splicing drum beats into Wang Wei
    Jazz transmission
    FlowTranesition

    Ascension
    Bliss Kissing stick to drumskin
    Maybe akin to kissing tongue to tonguekissing time
    Good ByeDrum beats go like this
    SwordsmithWhispering brush
    Tapping with grace and a feelSo smooth
    Billions of beats per minute
    Indicating taka time has left
    The buildingCymbal mist rolllllllzzzzzWhispering

    SomethingIn circles Taka Tinga
    Trees inside stixz
    Playing licks with sweat.
    Multiple hammers, hands, feet.
    Musical meanings flower
    Genius Jazz Machine science

    Drifting lines from the sun Scribble
    BeatHumming BzzzzzzzZZZzzzzzzz Inisde my Don Cherry
    Stone Ambient acid modal transitions for
    Trancendental transmissions
    Peach tree fragrance blossoms
    Everywhere Passing blurr
    Blooming everywhenHitch-hiking

    The bardo past the lower lights
    BzzzzzzzZZZZZZ TingTing Taka ting Soundz like zig zag Zen za za !
    Pattern
    Volume
    Recognition
    Incredible on the snareway to
    Heaven

    Alice Coltrane plays Afro harp Like the great TaoCrashing
    At heavenly shoreline
    Rest In Peace to Infinity
