The
epitome
of
self actualization
a
beautiful
gifted musician
a
self-assured vocalist
a
high school junior
with  
practiced techniques
and
a
subtle disposition

 

lissome fingers
sliding
smoothly along the
strings
of an
acoustic bass

using
the length
of the neck
to
bring into being
a deep
warm and mellow  
resonant voice

that
rhythmic ingredient  
that
conveys the melodic
pulse
that
percolates
steadily beneath
the
music

supporting and enhancing
the
drummer and pianist
with
a cheerfulness
a
sense of timing
and
sliding sweetly
into
space
rhythmically
with an
aggressive improvisation

a natural singer
with a
pure clean voice
intoning
infectious jazz tunes
like
“Genji”
“It Could Happen To You”
“Life is a groove”
and
“Lushlife”
with
savvy phrasing
vibrato
verve and energy

 

with
a cool efficiency
she
erases
any
uncertainties
of her
ability
calmly
proficiently
she
performs
“In a sentimental mood”
without a flaw
on violin

and
with a
storybook precision
emotions
and
excellence
she
scats

ready to meet up
with life
and
be  
someone
a
phenomenon
a
successful
bright
star.
