Jazz Haiku

Some music haiku I wrote this evening embodying typical jazz stereotypes, as well as some nonsense:

Giant Steps is called
By the tenor sax player
The trombonist sighs

The drummer is loud
The horns solos are too long
Jam session blues tune

I don’t know the chords
I don’t know the melody
I’m just a drummer

Pentatonic scales
Save me from having to think
About the changes

I hate playing jazz
The others glare at me when
I use distortion

I play guitar, man
I don’t need to know the notes
I’ll just play blues licks

A singer on stage
I think that this is a sign
To end the set now

The bassist solos
He’s inspired and tasteful
Nobody hears it

I have perfect pitch
I think I’ll teach myself to
Play jazz theremin

My accordion
Doesn’t seem to be wanted
At this jam session
