Ms. Bones Jazz Trio





             For this study,
             we’re going to

             focus on making
             Dev and his spiral

             staircase.


             Ms. Bones Jazz Trio
             was inspired by To

             the Beat of the Bass.


             It was my last
             Sunday alone in

             Paris. On the
             corner, across from

             Rue Mouf etard
             Café where I sat

             with my back to
             the wall, a Beat

             Generation band
             played, bass

             thrumming, snares,
             and cymbals

             brushed by wire, a
             singer's voice
             doing the "Da. Da-

             da-da-daaa-daaa.

             Da. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da." with words of the bebop all
             over the scale. The market, the cafe, the street musicians – it
             was a perfect Sunday in Paris.


             Dev also likes listening to street musicians, and he decided to learn

             how to play the bass.
