Pony Jazz - Subterranean Trans-Equestrian

Le Mp3 - This fandom needs more jazz, more I say! So take a trip with me, not to the heart, but the bloodstream of any city where there is an underbelly; a sinuous network of stone and steel that sings shrill with each turn. A canine vagabond by the name of Dodger (of ’Oliver and Company’ fame) once told us that the city’s got a beat. “A’rrrrrhythm.“ Here’s one of them. After all the quasi-serious business of the Konzertstuck, I decided to turn back to jazz for a bit of respite. I have a bi-weekly commute into Manhattan to attend my graduate classes and my most reliable mode of transport is the love-it-or-hate-it NYC subway. There’s a beauty to those incessant “clicks and clacks“ of steel against steel as they slip in and out of precise rhythm. With that in mind, I sought to glorify this found sound in song. Yes, those are real trains in the beginning: The A and 6 trains respectively for you New Yorkers.
