The Sax Player At The Green Door
By
Peter E Adotey Addo
He was so cool
and very calculated
With a warm embracing tone
And a stunning dexterity
This sax player at the Green door.
Had a brisk tempo to match his play.
Softly but vigorously blowing his sax
To make his audience glad and mellow.
This Sax Player at the Green door.
He had a joyous love for people
One could sense it through his notes
With the colored lights blending with the notes
This Sax player at the Green door.
He could navigate space and timing
With high and low and medium notes
While the Bass went off in a Boom Boom
Boom
This Sax Player at the Green door.
Casually strolling to the Piano
There for a drink and to wipe his
brow
To say hello to a patron or two
This Sax player at the Green door.
Knowing just when to get back to the beat
He would sashay back to the center on time
To follow the beat one more time
This Sax Player at the Green door.
Such an uncanny precision now
in a dialogue with the band
Followed by an applause from the audience
This is Raw and unadulterated Jazz, pure and simple Jazz
As played by the Sax Player at the Green door.
