Text Quotes
As long as there are musicians who have a passion for spontaneity, for creating something that’s never been before, the art form of jazz will flourish. (Jazz Quotes)
Many jazz artists go to L.A. seeking a more comfortable life and then they really stop playing. (Jazz Quotes)
Normal adults can doodle, amble, and drift with no need to assess risk, since there is normally no risk at all. Jazz improvisation seems less subject to standards of risk than surgery, and less than much formal athletic performance, as in a tennis match. (Jazz Quotes)
For me, the bold jazz of John Coltrane and Miles Davis reflected the bold attitude in African-Americans finding their political identity and voice. (Jazz Quotes)
I wasn’t a dancer learning to play Baby Houseman. I was Baby Houseman learning to play a dancer. I was someone who’d never done any Latin dance. I’d taken jazz classes and ballet growing up in New York, so I had dance in me, and I knew I loved it, but I’d never done a dance audition. (Jazz Quotes)
I’m pretty optimistic about the future of rock... it will be back to composition as in classical music or jazz. (Jazz Quotes)
There’s more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that’s because the audience doesn’t really know what’s happening. (Jazz Quotes)
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. (Jazz Quotes)
I’ve been dancing my entire life. Jazz, hip hop, ballet. And then there’s tap dancing. I love to tap. (Jazz Quotes)
I’m the first one out on the dance floor. In college I had to take jazz, ballet and tap dancing, but, before that, it was just social. (Jazz Quotes)
When I was playing piano, it was like, ‘I’m going to write a song using all the white keys.’ My music director, who knew my jazz background, suggested I try big-band music, so we spent a year experimenting with it in concert, and the audience reaction was really good. (Jazz Quotes)
I grew up playing the saxophone. I joined the jazz band in high school, but somewhere along the way I realized the guys who strummed acoustic guitars at parties were the ones who got the attention. So I asked a friend to show me a few chords, and when I moved to L.A. I spent a lot of time practicing my guitar. (Jazz Quotes)
A jazz musician can improvise based on his knowledge of music. He understands how things go together. For a chef, once you have that basis, that’s when cuisine is truly exciting. (Jazz Quotes)
I have two main bass guitars, and my main bass is a four-string 1964 Fender Jazz, and I’ve named it Justine. (Jazz Quotes)
In the Bay Area, there was a resurgence of Dixieland jazz in the 40s - there was the Frisco Jazz Band, and Lu Watters and the Yerba Buena Jazz Band. (Jazz Quotes)
Playing the sax and then enjoying jazz music man. It’s like I learned how to find words inside of the beat. (Jazz Quotes)
A short story relies on those values that make poetry and jazz what they are: tension, rhythms, inner beat, into unforeseen within foreseen parameters (Jazz Quotes)
I grew up with classical music blasting in my parents’ living room and my older brother’s practicing saxophone in his room listening to jazz... a beautiful chaos. (Jazz Quotes)
Are you kidding? That’s the music of the spheres, commissar. It’s beautiful. Like old jazz. (Jazz Quotes)
What I’m doing, I prefer to call that jazz, because it is a beautiful word - I love it (Jazz Quotes)
I’ve mainly been sampling jazz because the tone of the chords are expressive in itself, so it’s quite nice to write over. (Jazz Quotes)
Jazz has endured because it doesn’t have a beginning or an ending. It’s a moment. (Jazz Quotes)
Jazz to me is a living music. It’s a music that since its beginning has expressed the feelings, the dreams, hopes, of the people. (Jazz Quotes)
The age of 18 seemed the right time to try something different in my life. Moving to the U.K. was a risk, and I was never confident that I could ever make a full-time living being a musician, but I had to try. Initially, I worked as a jazz musician in pubs or with bands. (Jazz Quotes)
Reactionary conservatives are smiling through the racial apocalypse. To them, race baiting is a joke, as ‘humorist’ Rush Limbaugh will tell you when he’s calling Mexicans ‘stupid.’ Or it’s a matter of semantics when they claim that Sonia Sotomayor is a ‘racialist’ which, far as I can tell, is the smooth jazz version of being a racist. (Jazz Quotes)
It’s sort of what jazz would be if it stopped being snobby and what rock would be if it stopped being stupid. (Jazz Quotes)
It’s a weird thing where, especially in jazz, you have to totally mention cutting sessions and people one-upping each other and people being super, super tough on each other. And out of it emerge these genius musicians. (Jazz Quotes)
The world I live in is benefiting from things like satellite radio. Jazz and blues fests are everywhere now, and Americana is going strong on college radio. What I’m hearing is an appreciation of real music. (Jazz Quotes)
When you are studying jazz, the best thing to do is listen to records or listen to live music. It isn’t as though you go to a teacher. You just listen as much as you can and absorb everything. (Jazz Quotes)
I think when I feel I’m at my best is when I’m on stage, and it’s my version of jazz because it’s just riffing or something. (Jazz Quotes)
