Band Quotes

I started a big band when grunge was popular. I mean, that didn’t make much sense Picture Quote #1

It was by listening to Goodman’s band, that I began to notice the guitarist Charlie Christian, who was one of the first musicians to play solos in a big band set-up Picture Quote #1

There’s sort of an open offer to work with a guy in Los Angeles who does big band and orchestra arrangements who was at least an acquaintance to Les Baxter before he passed away Picture Quote #1

Since the big band started I’m just always swamped with movies and things. It certainly pays the bills and it’s very satisfying, because I get to write all these big charts and all this crazy music Picture Quote #1

Something happened in the nineties. There was a shift. I don’t want to blame it on grunge or the rise of indie - but that was basically it. It was seen as dirty and kind of ignorant to have these ambitions, to want to be a big band Picture Quote #1

Big band music, to me, it really has three key elements. First is the lyrics are really sweet, and they’re just really family-friendly. The second thing is the music is jazz music, so the music is complicated enough to hold your attention for 5 or 6 million plays. That makes the songs interesting. The last part is the fact that it’s danceable Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I used to listen to my Emerson radio late at night under the covers. I started by listening to jazz in the late 1940s and then vocal harmony groups like the Four Freshmen, the Modernaires and the Hi-Lo’s. I loved Stan Kenton’s big band - with those dark chords and musicians who could swing cool with individual sounds Picture Quote #1

I think The Doors are one of the classic groups, and I think we’re all tempted to feel like the time in which we grew up was somehow special, but I really do believe that there were two golden eras in music: The Forties and Fifties of big band, jazz and swing, and the Sixties and Seventies of rock. To me, they’re really unparalleled Picture Quote #1

I understand why there’s a natural suspicion of the Next Big British Band Picture Quote #1

I love most melodic music - classical, reggae, big band, jazz, blues, country, pop, swing, folk Picture Quote #1

It’s a big shame, because ‘Trixter’ in my mind were what a real rock n’ roll band is all about Picture Quote #1

My faith plays a big part in who I am: a Christian guy playing pop-rock music. I’m in a pop-rock band, not a Christian band Picture Quote #1

It’s nice to have a band that can adapt to whatever show we’re in, so we can play on a big stage or a house show Picture Quote #1

To actually get together and make a band record feels like a bit of a big deal, and that can be quite daunting when you’re musicians Picture Quote #1

For any band that ends up becoming really big, yeah, hard work has something to do with it, but a lot of it is just pure luck Picture Quote #1

I don’t think it’s inherently wrong when bands do certain things - sometimes I’m really excited when I see a band has taken a big ad or sync Picture Quote #1

You always come back to Duke Ellington - he’s kind of like the thread that holds everything together from the big band descending to lots of jazz, actually Picture Quote #1

It is very important to me that my songs can sound amazing with a big band or orchestra, but just as powerful and touching with just me and my guitar Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a school that had a big music program, and it was incredible. It’s what I looked forward to during the day. I had chorus, strings, band Picture Quote #1

I have my ideas, I have my music and I also just enjoy showing off, so that’s a big part of it. Also, I like to get up onstage and behave insanely or express myself physically, and the band can get pretty silly Picture Quote #1

The Band is probably the ultimate example of people taking all kinds of music, from gospel to blues to mountain music to folk music to on and on and on and on and putting them all in this big pot and mixing up a new gumbo Picture Quote #1

There is a difference between a great producer and somebody who is a big advocate of your music. Just because you’re a big advocate for a band doesn’t mean you need to be in the studio with them, and at the same time - we don’t need to get into this conversation - you can write a hit, but it might not hit Picture Quote #1

I had a kind of artrock band called Peanut for a while, which eventually helped me over my fear of singing. That was a big step for me. I never dreamed I could sing songs in front of people Picture Quote #1

I have a younger brother and sister who actually play in my band, and we were always into Disney music, big time. The first time I heard myself sing was when I recorded myself singing a Disney song. I remember it because it was awful, and I didn’t expect to hear that. I think it was ‘A Whole New World’ from ‘Aladdin.’ Picture Quote #1

Big Time Rush’ was a great show, and I had some great experiences. It allowed me to become more of a comedic actress, which is also a great skill to have. But there wasn’t a whole lot of tragedy in there. Not quite as dark as ‘Red Band Society.’ So I’ve been very lucky to have been able to grow in that sense, just through moving to FOX Picture Quote #1

I got my first set of drums when I was around 3. I went from band to marching band to Latin jazz band - it’s like riding a bike Picture Quote #1

I actually started the whole project some years ago with a live debut at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. The focus was mainly on my favorite period of Billie Holiday, which was the late-50s Verve recordings, with essentially a small version of the Count Basie band Picture Quote #1
