"Jazz Ain't Nothin But Soul" lyrics - ESPERANZA SPALDING

Trumpets, cassettes, slide trombone
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people!
Jazz is makin' do with 'taters and grits
Standin' up each time you get hip
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
Jazz is livin' high off nickels and dimes
Telling folks 'bout what's on your mind
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
Trumpets, cassettes, slide trombone
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people!
For me, jazz is all the truth to be found
Never mind who's puttin' it down
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
Chocolates, coffee, saxophones
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people!
For me, jazz is all the truth to be found
Never mind who's puttin' it down
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
