Clubscene - WordJazz

This is Carolyn Joyce

Chandeliers glowing softly
candles flicker
in
a thoughtfully lit
ambience
where
an air of decadence
manages to survive
conversations
are barely audible
laughter
is
stifled
servers move about
easily
between table

Piano - Tony Pacini
Bass – Ed Bennett
Drums- Tin Rap

began to weave
a steady
syncopated tempo
intended
to calm anxious
patron
peers and supporter

Carolyn
was beguiling
in
a stylish India mini-dress
an
embroidered design
in the front
and slitted sides
she intones
“Give Me the Simple Life”
her voice warm
draws you
into
the lyrics
there is
a feeling of euphoria
an impassioned outpouring
on
“Just Squeeze Me”
she croon
“Born to be Blue”
and
the emotion ooze out
a
soulful release
the entire night
was wrapped in the beauty
of a soulful swing
and tangible moments
with
songs that touch and delight
