Christian McBride and his Big Band - NYC 2015 (2)

Manhattan skyline constructs

background

in this jazzy 5^th floor

where

barely fits band swings

McBride’s glasses

reflect the lights from outside

fingers dance double bass

his companion for years

since he was teen

now making magic with 24 cats

in sync with his

rhythmic

laugh

and we sit and

sip our drinks

at hard-edged tables

in wonder at the

perfect

night-time
              architecture of jazz
