  • Jazz is merely the Negroes cry of Joy & Suffering
  • INTROIT- Joy n’ Suff’rin
  • Jazz is the musical expression of the triumph of the Negroes Spirit
  • KYRIE ELEISON- Lawd Hav’ Merci
  • This endless repetition is like a Chain around the Spirit. And is a reflection of the denial of a future to the Negro in the American way of life

  • Another restraining factor in Jazz are the changes
  • TUBA MIRUM- The Changes

  • Jazz reflects the improvised life thrust upon the Negro
  • CONFUTATIS-Repression
  • Through Spirituals, through the Blues, then through Jazz we made a memory of our past and a promise of all to come
  • LACRIMOSA- Weeping our Lady of Sorrow
  • Because Jazz is the one element in American life where whites must be humble to the Negro
