Jazz Quotes

I’m aware that a lot of what is happening in jazz has not had a very dynamic change in a long time Picture Quote #1

Marijuana is a useful catalyst for specific optical and aural aesthetic perceptions. I apprehended the structure of certain pieces of jazz and classical music in a new manner under the influence of marijuana, and these apprehensions have remained valid in years of normal consciousness Picture Quote #1

The history of jazz lets us know that this period in our history is not the only period we’ve come through together. If we truly understood the history of our national arts, we’d know that we have mutual aspirations, a shared history, in good times and bad Picture Quote #1

Comedians and jazz musicians have been more comforting and enlightening to me than preachers or politicians or philosophers or poets or painters or novelists of my time. Historians in the future, in my opinion, will congratulate us on very little other than our clowning and our jazz Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind being classified as a jazz artist, but I do mind being restricted to being a jazz artist. My foundation has been in jazz, though I didn’t really start out that way. I started in classical music, but my formative years were in jazz, and it makes a great foundation Picture Quote #1

It’s true I’ve always been attracted to the jazz band in an orchestral way, rather than a band way Picture Quote #1

You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That’s jazz Picture Quote #1

Jazz really does try to include everything. It’s always been popular music. But the wonderful thing about jazz is its willingness to take chances Picture Quote #1

One of the things I like about jazz, kid, is I don’t know what’s going to happen next. Do you? Picture Quote #1

I have been steadily exchanging a rock audience who were nervous about what they had just bought for a jazz audience who not only were happy with their purchase, but are increasingly coming again Picture Quote #1

Certainly one of the more common experiences in the jazz field is discovering someone new. Improvising musicians are capable of being musical travelers, voyagers. We want to join in on whatever we hear. There is a freedom to wander the musical landscape Picture Quote #1

When I sang that song, I felt it was almost as if some force had moved into my body. Things like that have only happened to me singing jazz. It doesn’t happen when singing pop. I get so deeply into the music, it feels like I’ve become someone else Picture Quote #1

As a matter of fact, we put it down because we wanted to be jazz pickers Picture Quote #1

Europeans really provided many venues over there and hailed the jazz artists, and a lot of musicians went over there and stayed over there for a long time. A lot of them moved over there, lived over there, and died over there Picture Quote #1

I have seen great jazz musicians die obscure and drinking themselves to death and not really being able to get any work and working in small, funky jazz clubs Picture Quote #1

I’ve played with all of the heavyweights in the modern jazz, progressive jazz movement. I’ve been fortunate enough to play with them, a who’s who. all of those guys, I’ve been fortunate enough to have performed with Picture Quote #1

There is an apprenticeship system in jazz. You teach the young ones. So even if the musicians weren’t personally that likable, they felt an obligation to help the younger musicians Picture Quote #1

Personally, I think young musicians need to learn to play more than one style. Jazz can only enhance the classical side, and classical can only enhance the jazz. I started out playing classical, because you have to have that as a foundation Picture Quote #1

I was in every band class I could get in, like after school jazz band and marching band, and that’s where I really learned to read music from elementary all the way through junior high and high school Picture Quote #1

Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can’t explain it. They really can’t translate feeling because they’re not part of it. That’s why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It’s not. It’s feeling Picture Quote #1

You know, it’s funny... When you’re making money, people don’t think you’re playing jazz. Now when you’re not making money, people think that you’re a good jazz musician Picture Quote #1

I want them to come away with discovering the music inside them. and not thinking about themselves as jazz musicians, but thinking about themselves as good human beings, striving to be a great person and maybe they’ll become a great musician Picture Quote #1

This music that was supposed to only come from tapes like in any restaurant. Something would happened. One bird will start to do a little jazz thing, and another bird will start to answer Picture Quote #1

I think that people should learn about that. In most music, there’s one way that you do something, and that’s the only way. In jazz, it’s a lot different Picture Quote #1

In fact, jazz has such a great feeling and great emotional content that it really doesn’t require you to have technical understanding of it. I think you just have to allow your feelings to go with the music and you will find yourself carried along by it fairly quickly Picture Quote #1

Jazz is there and gone. It happens. You have to be present for it. That simple Picture Quote #1

I’ve been informed by both sides, jazz, western music, asian music, african music, all sides, because I’ve been interested in the sound of the universe, and that sound is without limit Picture Quote #1

Today jazz is still very much alive. Everywhere I go there’s a new generation of musicians Picture Quote #1

Ladies and gentlemen, please don’t associate me with any of this. This is not jazz. These are sick people Picture Quote #1

I took the frets out of my bass after I was getting into jazz a lot and I wanted to have that upright sound Picture Quote #1
