There they came on stage,
Three musicians,
Piano, bass and drums.
The first note was played
And I was taken away,
Taken away into a new world,
A world where classical met jazz.
All my long life I had listened,
Listened to both typez of music,
Both classical and jazz
And had met this type before,
But this group took it,
Took it to a new level,
A level I had never been before.
From Bach to Elgar,
Massenet to Beethoven
And so many more.
I was in a dreamworld
Where my two favourite types of music
Met with such profound wonder.
Such a wonderful time
Just flew by
As I listened and was taken,
Taken away to that place,
That place where music reigns
Bringing peace and glory,
Peace and glory to life,
To life immortal.

- Comment from author about the poem: A group called Fugue and Groove came to our Jazz Club last night and I think it was the best group I have seen there for a very, very long time, I was blown away as they played classical music in a jazz style. Unfortunately they are not on YouTube but here is a link to there website https://www.richkeys.co.uk/fuguengroove.

There's a folk group weekly in town. On weeks when it is 'Singers Night', members of the group sing, instead of special guests. No one turns up if I am there to sing! heehee.
Just keep practising Orchi, you know the tune "Far Away" the further away the better. LOL
Andy
A fitting tribute. I could almost hear the music. 🙂
Thank you Tom, it was a wonderful evening.

Wonderful Andy, music being so important to all. 🤗
Yes it certainly is important Teddy, thank you.
Andy
You've got me. Now, whenever I hear a piece of music (esp. jazz or classical) that has my attention I find myself wondering how much Andy would appreciate this.
Thank you for the comment Dave, i like all types of music, especially Classical and Jazz. I say to people there are only two types of music, that which you like and that which you don't.
To give you an example of other types of music I have all the albums that Johnny Cash recorded.
Andy
Glad you had such a great time Andy. 😊👍
I certainly did AP, it was wonderful.
