my favorite jazz

i felt like my heart was playing upright bass
tommy was on acoustic and dunc was on drums
and she was on the keys

we never really practiced
we just played

i used to love when dunc would drop out
when tommy was off playin his other gigs
and it was just me on bass
and she was on the keys

and i loved the late nights with tommy
his acoustic and my bass burning through the hours
a set at 3:30 and a set a 5:15
a set in the afternoon while playin pool
a set with a combo group when the power went out
a set on the couch when the only light in the room was gamblewithlife
times when it didn't even matter
that she was on the keys

we haven't played together in a while
but sometimes at night
i can still hear tommy playin that old acoustic
i can still hear dunc on the drums
and i can still hear her
on the keys
