Jazzmaster MAG
  Jazz of the most interesting type
  When shining golden ghosts go astray shooting out from the atmosphere into separate worlds
  When fuel tank whompers break the ground in unpredictable earthquake beats
  When explosions of lightly percussive twinkling send the crowd tumbling down the stairs of the universe
  When golden yellow laughter and neon blue sadness fill the head to the bursting point
  When the press of keys and sheets of music are ripped apart and tickled until they fall apart from laughter
  When these tatters are taped back together in a suddenly humorless collage
  When the jazz master raises his arm up in the air and sucks the sound into his iron fist
  When the audience wakes up in the middle of nowhere and wonders who they are, which planet they belong to and what universe they’re in
