"leap frog"
for steve cannon
over the top of everything that's come before, & then
hunched down for the future to vault over your back,
lest we forget that these are young men, playful yet deep
with intelligence, bursting with the joy of discovery & their unparalleled virtuosity,
beautifully seasoned in the history & practice of their music
& sure enough de- termined to move the music forward
leap frog, leap frog, bird & monk & dizzy
in the days before the second world war
