And that promise grew into the jazz funeral. P: I see. So what happens at a jazz funeral? M: Everyone meets at the church where they have a Christian ceremony. P: But that’s like an ordinary funeral. M: True, but after the ceremony the coffin is carried through the streets to where it will be buried. Everyone walks behind the coffin, and a band plays serious music. P: It must be very interesting to see that. Is that all? M: No. After the body is buried, the people walk away sadly and slowly. As they do so the leader of the band starts to play a few notes on a trumpet and the drummer begins drumming. That’s the sign for a c hange of emotion in the music. Listen to the song. P: Wow! That’s much happier. M: Yes. Everybody begins singing and dancing to celebrate the life of the dead person. P: Have you ever seen one of these jazz funerals? M: Yes, I was lucky enough to see the traditional funeral of a famous jazz musician. P: That must have been fascinating. Let me hear more of that music please. M: Sure. Listen ?
