“I realized by using the high notes of the chords as a melodic line, and by the right harmonic progression, I could play what I heard inside me. That's when I was born.”
Charlie Parker
“When it comes down to vocals, I want to hear something that's going to be melodic. David's always had those animalistic instincts of making those gut sounds, or whatever you want to call it. But he's developed a really strong singing voice.”
Dan Donegan
“I always admired trumpet players like Harry James. I always loved that melodic sound, a fat sound.”
Greg Bonham
“We've kind of been on the more melodic page for the last few years now. For anybody that knows the band and the last couple of records, or just the last record, they're going to get it. It's not going to be a complete 180 or something out of left field, to where people are going to be like, 'Oh, wow — they did this with their music. I can't believe that.' There's some unpredictable stuff still, and we like to keep people guessing with the songs and keep things fresh.”
James Hart
“Anthony Miranda: Independent Melodic Velocities.”
Frederic Chopin
“We got to push the melodic side of it just as far, if not farther, then we've ever pushed it before. For the first time, we saw that light at the end of the tunnel, and it was pretty bright. I can honestly say that this is the best cross section of music that we have ever put on a record.”
John Connolly
“He was a damned good bassist, very melodic,”
Ron Wood
