Usual trappings
delights in difficulties
tossing drumsticks high

Turning up the heat
showcasing a legacy
becoming played out

Proud record holders
spoken or shown from the stage
still around to cheer

IV

Wept on arrival
known to the public at large
interviewed this week

V

Movieland glamour
an obscure figure in jazz
in the spotlights glare

VI

Enduring mystiques
pioneering achievements
re-released this week...
