Something Like Sanctified
Jazz: the ability to expand on meaning, broaden implication, to fling notes or words, and in this case, a quilt. Something Like Santicifed is a scrap quilt, a manipulation of that which is on hand. Marvin Gay understood adaptation and sang about letting one’s love come down, somethin like sanctified. . ..
