“It's great; it keeps people from having to drive an hour to listen to good jazz. It's especially good for the kids. Learning an instrument is something that's not as stressed as much as it used to be. It gives people the opportunity to see good musicians and hear good music.”
Chris Kelley
“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
C.S. Lewis
“Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.”
John Philip Sousa
“I never thought that the music called "jazz" was ever meant to reach just a small group of people, or become a museum thing locked under glass like all other dead things that were once considered artistic.”
Miles Davis
“You hear about the Duke Ellingtons, the Jimmie Luncefords, and the Fletcher Hendersons, but people sometimes forget that jazz was not only built in the minds of the great ones, but on the backs of the ordinary ones.”
Cab Calloway
“To most white people, jazz means black and jazz means dirt, and that's not what I play. I play black classical music.”
Nina Simone
“Some people are born with a brain that has this weird, magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.”
Andy Richter
