You need better technique than I have to play jazz, but what you have to do is the same thing, isn’t it? Picture Quote #1

The old jazz singers or old blues singers, you always just saw them kind of sitting down and singing. They weren’t worried as much about their voice sounding perfect. They would make the song kind of fit their voice Picture Quote #1

Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented. Jazz musicians enjoy themselves more than anyone listening to them does Picture Quote #1

I missed jazz, kind of. And by the time I came to it in life, it was too intimidating to enjoy thoroughly Picture Quote #1
