Philly's ride like fabric of summer night noise
Snare snap fractures the steady rhythmic lull
Trane's tone - acoustic curtain summons joy
Miles floats above rich tapestry below
Expand the voyage to the red hot sun
Stress the time passage with sounding tension
Resolving suspense - looping back on one
Smoke filled room in New York City session
Rain soaked streets outside - lazy summer gig
Homeless shadows seek the cover of rain
Vanishing thoughts - a mind about to break
Miles' tone against the backdrop of their pain
Crawl back in - to witness the story told
Feel the wash of their harmonic resolve

I like the way you've layered references to famous musicians (rich with memory and emotional response, if you're familiar with them) over top of vivid and evocative descriptions. It pulls you in.
Very evocative. I enjoyed reading this.
blowing over that mug of coffee
It was like reading Jazz....
And I love Jazz...
This is so, so well done.
