Jazz Quotes

My style is a little quirky. I can’t play as fast as most professional jazz players Picture Quote #1

My mother was into opera and my father was into jazz, so there was a lot of jazz in the house where I grew up Picture Quote #1

I always think of a voice as an instrument, whether a voice is a trumpet, or violin, or bass. You know what I mean? A horn or wind instrument versus a string instrument. Horn instruments are definitely more toward jazz Picture Quote #1

Around age 11 or 12, I started playing jazz bass. From there, I went to electric bass and then guitar, which I kept up for a long time Picture Quote #1

My short answer would be that there is no greatest jazz musician of the century. Jazz, like any valid art form, finds its greatness in its expression of the human spirit, and, to me, this can’t be reduced to a contest Picture Quote #1

What happens when an art form becomes ambiguous, I think, is that the standards are lowered. You can say anything is jazz. So I think it’s important to reflect on what made jazz so special Picture Quote #1

Bruges is a beautiful medieval city almost untouched by time. If you like jazz, you will be well catered for. If you like chocolate and beer, you will be in heaven Picture Quote #1

Jazz is the expression of America’s romantic self, its sensual potency, its lyrical force Picture Quote #1

Jazz exemplifies artistic activity that is at once individual and communal, performance that is both repetitive and innovative, each participant sometimes providing background support and sometimes flying free Picture Quote #1

Jazz is about the only form of art existing today in which there is freedom of the individual without the loss of group contact Picture Quote #1

I do subscribe to the maxim that generally comedy is like jazz. Either you get it or you don’t. You can’t learn it and you can’t be taught it. I don’t think that if you are not a funny person, you can fake it Picture Quote #1

Life is like a great jazz riff. You sense the end the very moment you were wanting it to go on forever Picture Quote #1

Are you kidding? That’s the music of the spheres, commissar. It’s beautiful. Like old jazz Picture Quote #1

Everybody’s not going to like jazz, let’s just be honest about it. Everybody doesn’t like everything. There’s a disconnect in generations and some people just aren’t going to feel that music Picture Quote #1

I do feel a responsibility because most people like me that are my age or younger, they don’t quite make it over to the jazz side. They flirt with it, but they don’t quite marry it Picture Quote #1

I feel like certain people think that certain styles of music will taint their jazz style Picture Quote #1

I did ballet, jazz and flamenco from when I was five years old. And my professional career started with dancing in musicals Picture Quote #1
