Jazz Funeral

The Basics

1997 Grey Holsteiner Stallion, 16.3hh
Equine Database: 0009

Jazz King x Wakeful
Foaled: March 7, 1997
Competing in Grand Prix Dressage

Jazz is a lovely, solid stallion with real charisma and presence in the ring. He's built a bit like an elegant tank, though he definitely doesn't move like a tank! He floats across the ground with a show of strength, determination, and elegance. He's got a bit of a typical stallion temperament; full of fire and definitely not a horse for the faint of heart. A confident and experienced rider working with this lovely boy, however, is like watching a conductor manage an orchestra to its stunning and dramatic finale. Jazz will throw foals with plenty of personality, lots of bone, and movement to beat the pants off everyone else in the class.

  • Naming Background

    Considered a great honor, this is one of the most distinguished aspects of New Orleans culture. Its roots lie in the customs of the Dahomeans and Yoruba people, and is a celebration of both the person's life and the beauty and solemnity of their death. The procession is lead by the Grand Marshal, resplendent in his black tuxedo, white gloves and black hat in hand; almost a vision of the great Baron Samedi himself. The music begins with solemn, tolling dirges, moves into hymns of sorrow, loss and redemption. When the burial site is reached, a two-note preparatory riff is sounded, and the drummers start the second-line beat, heralding the switch in music to joyous, upbeat songs, dancing, and the unfurling of richly decorated umbrellas by the "second line": friends, family, loved ones and stray celebrants. Strutting, bouncing, and festive dance accompanies the upbeat ragtime music that sends the departed soul onto its next journey.
