The Promise of Jazz

The pure definition of Promise is; a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen, or to pledge that a certain outcome will be attained. Since it's inception, Jazz has vowed to capture the voices, emotions, characters, long-sufferings, and triumpths of it's faithful. To this day, Jazz has not wavered in it's committment. We find ourselves represented in every note, every rhythm, every crescendo, decrescendo, every chord, and every octave that defines our lives. Jazz is the Promise and Jazz on the Rocks with a Twist of Soul is the vessel of dynamics and harmony. A salute to Gregory Porter
