About the Author:
Carl Wendall Hines, It was born on September 1, 1940 in Wilson, North Carolina, to middle class black parents. His father, a pradaste of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College, was Arst a mathematics teacher and later an elementary School principal in the Wilson City Schools. His mother, Ruth Johnson Hines, a graduate of Bennett College, Greenslora, taught in the Wilson Public School System until her retirement. The Hines had two children besides Carl, Jr. Brenda Carol and Edwin Harold. Hines attended Public School in Wilson, where he developed an interest in music and become a Jazz pianist. Hines had his first success as a published poet when Arma Bontemps accepted two “Jazz poems”. (1963). He continued his interest in Jazz, playing with a combo that is sometimes called the “Carl Hines Jazz Quartet. His verses (poems) have been hoisted as some of the best by contemporary writers.
SUMMARY
Carl Wendall Hines Jr. wrote Jazz poem 1 & 2. For students reference Jazz poem 1 is given under.
‘Yeah here I am, standing at the crest of a tallest hill with a trumpet in my hand and dark glasses on. Bearded & bereted I proudly stand! But there are no eyes to see me. I send down cool sounds! But there are no ears to hear me. My lips they quiver in acther-emptiness! There are no hearts love who me. Surely though through night’s gray fog mist of delusion and dream and the rivers of tears that flow like gelatin Soul-Juice some apthetic bearer of paranoid-ic peyote vision (or some other source of inspiration) shall hear the song I play. Shall see the beard and beret, shall become inflamed beyond all hope with emotion’s everlasting fire and join me in eternal peace. And but yet well who knows?’
The old Jazz musician was also similar to that of Ancient Mari-ner in Coleridge’s poem. He had no interest or enthusiasm in the present world. He had a pathetic figure, but commanding artist. He had the power to make people to listen. This was a gift. He was silent in speech but eloquent in music. He was very good at expressing his thoughts through music.
He stood at the crest of the tallest hill. He was old and had wrinkled face. He had no interest in life. His head was turned down-ward, he closed his eyes. He wore an old faded blue shirt. That shirt was dark with sweat, the tie was torn. The jacket was old and it could not hold his sagging (hanging) stomach. He wore the old shoes which had papers inside. His face was not shaved. One could see the pain in each wrinkle of his face. He alone stood with his head down and eyes closed. He wore an old alto saxophone and chanting some rel gious music in low voice. That old saxophone was hanging from his neck by a wire coat hanger. He wanted to tell that he was a Black Man. He had been sent here to preach the Black Gospel of Jazz. He was preaching it with words by loud musical sound. When he starte to preach, he was transformed into a Bird. That Bird gathers its wing and flies high, high and higher until it flies away. Otherwise he co back to find himself as a Black man again.
Jazz Poem Two ಎಂಬ ಗದ್ಯಪಾಠವನ್ನು Carl Wendall Hines, Jr ಎಂಬುದರು ಬರೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಜಾಜ್ ಪದ್ಯ ಒಂದು ಮತ್ತು ಎರಡರಲ್ಲಿ ಬರುವ ಜಾಜ್ ಸಂಗೀತಗಾರ ತುಂಬಾ ವೃದ್ಧರೂ ಹಾಗೂ ಹಳೆಯ ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರಿದವರು Coleridge ರವರು ಬರೆದ Ancient Mariner ಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಹೋಲಿಕೆಯಿದೆ. ಅವರಂತೆ ಇವರೂ ಸಹ ಇಹ ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಕಳೆದು ಕೊಂಡಂತಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಈ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ಜೀವನದ ರೀತಿ ನೀತಿಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕಾಳಜಿಯಿಲ್ಲ. ಇವರು ಕರುಣಾಜನಕ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯಂತೆ ಕಂಡರೂ ಕಲಾವಿದ ರಾಗಿ ಬಹಳ ಶಕ್ತಿವಂತರು. ಇವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಸಂಗೀತದಿಂದ ಕೇಳುಗರನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದಿಡುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದ್ದರು. ಮಾತನಾಡದಿದ್ದರೂ, ತಮ್ಮ ಭಾವನೆಯನ್ನು ಸಂಗೀತದ ಮೂಲಕ ಅಭಿವ್ಯಕ್ತಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಇವರು ತುಂಬಾ ಎತ್ತರವಾದ ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ತುದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಂತಿದ್ದರು. ಇವರ ಮುಖದಲ್ಲಿ ಅನೇಕ ಸುಕ್ಕುಗಳಿದ್ದವು.
ಇವರ ಮುಖಭಾವ, ಇವರಿಗೆ ಜೀವನ ದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ನಿರಾಶಾ ಭಾವನೆಯನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬಿಸುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ತಲೆಯನ್ನು ಕೆಳಗೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು, ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳನ್ನು ಮುಚ್ಚಿದ್ದರು. ಅವರು ಹಾಕಿಕೊಂಡು = ಬಣ್ಣ ಮಾಸಿದ, ಹಳೆಯ ನೀಲಿ ಶರ್ಟ್ ಬೆವರಿನಿಂದ ಕಂದು ಬಣ್ಣಕ್ಕೆ ತಿರುಗಿತ್ತು. ಶರ್ಟಿನ ಕಾಲರ್ನಿಂದ ದಾರಗಳು ಕಿತ್ತು ಬಂದಿದ್ದವು. ಅವರು ಧರಿಸಿದ ಟೈ ಸಹ ಹಳೆಯದಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಅವರ ಜೋಲಾಡುವ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಯನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದಿಡುವಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರ ಮೇಲಂಗಿ (ಜಾಕೆಟ್) ಸಹ ವಿಫಲವಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಅವರು ಹಾಕಿದ ಹೂಗಳ ಒಳಗೆ ಕಾಗದದ ಚೂರುಗಳಿದ್ದವು. ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಗಡ್ಡವನ್ನು ಬೋಳಿಸಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಅವರ ಮುಖಗಳಲ್ಲಿರುವ ನೆರಿಗೆ ಗಳಿಂದ ನೋವು ಎದ್ದು ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಅವರೊಬ್ಬರೇ ತಲೆಯನ್ನು ಇನ್ನೂ ಕೆಳಗೆ ಮಾಡಿ, ಕಣ್ಮುಚ್ಚಿ ನಿಂತಿದ್ದರು. ಅವರ ಕಿವಿ ಚುರುಕಾಗಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಕುತ್ತಿಗೆಯ ಸುತ್ತ ಹಳೆಯ ಸ್ಯಾಕ್ಸಾಫೋನನ್ನು ಜೋತಾಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದರು. ಮೇಲು ಧ್ವನಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಸಂಗೀತವನ್ನು ಹಾಡ ಲಾರಂಭಿಸಿದರು. ಅವರು ತಾವು Black Man ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಇಡೀ ಜಗತ್ತಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಬೇಕಿತ್ತು. ಅವರನ್ನು Black Gospel of Jazz ನ್ನು ಬೋಧಿಸಲು ಕಳಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಸ್ಯಾಕ್ಸಾಫೋನಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಬೋಧಿಸಬೇಕಾದನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸಿದ ಕೂಡಲೇ ಬದಲಾವಣೆ ಉಂಟಾಯಿತು. ಅವರು Black Man ಆಗಿ ಉಳಿಯಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಪರಿವರ್ತನೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಾ, ಆಗುತ್ತಾ ಒಂದು ಪಕ್ಷಿಯಾಗಿ ತನ್ನ ರೆಕ್ಕೆಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಒಟ್ಟುಗೂಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಮೇಲೆ, ಮೇಲೆ ಹಾರಲಾರಂಭಿಸಿತು. ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಅವರು ಪುನಃ ಹಿಂದಿರುಗಿ ಬಂದು ತಮ್ಮನ್ನು ತಾವು Black Man ಆಗಿ ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
