Esperanza Spalding - Jazz Ain't Nothin But Soul Lyrics

Esperanza Spalding Lyrics

"Jazz Ain't Nothin But Soul"
(feat. Joe Lovano)
(originally by Betty Carter)

Trumpets, basses, saxophones
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people!

Jazz is makin' do with 'taters and grits
Standin' up each time you get hip
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
Jazz is livin' high off nickels and dimes
Telling folks 'bout what's on your mind
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
Nothin' but soul!

Trumpets, basses, saxophones
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people!

For me, jazz is all the truth to be found
Never mind who's puttin' it down
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!

So nothin' but soul

Trumpets, basses, saxophones
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people!
It's the voice of my people!

For me, jazz is all the truth to be found
Never mind who's puttin' it down
Jazz, jazz, jazz ain't nothin' but soul!

So nothin' but soul
