Jazz Singing

Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or singing:

“I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off
work,”
