The way I was singing the songs was jazz
Van Morrison
Image
[Jazz musicians] couldn't cut rock. I had to be more limited and specific about what I was doing.
Van Morrison
Image
I just can't stand it [jazz/rock]. It just doesn't sound right to me. It doesn't hit me...it doesn't get me...it just doesn't grab me.
Van Morrison
Image
Jazz was always cool. That was what I liked about jazz - it was always cool. Now I see the cats that were basically cool getting kind of uncool. So that ruins what I feel about jazz.
Van Morrison

If Music is a Place -- then Jazz is the City, Folk is the Wilderness, Rock is the Road, Classical is a Temple.
Vera Nazarian

Jazz isn't as profitable for labels like Hip hop or Rap. Jazz needs subsidies to continue, just like European classical works of Bach and Beethoven are subsidized.
Jimmy Heath

Creativity shouldn't be following radio it should be the other way around.
Herbie Hancock

I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.

The idea is more important than the style you're playing in.
Ornette Coleman

Some people are born with a brain that has this weird, magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.

Jazz vision is a wordless conversation between musical notes and visual expressions.

Player for player, there’s no better working band in jazz than The Cookers.
Andy Gilbert
Image
There's no future without the past and anybody who doesn't really understand where jazz has come from has no right to try to direct where it's going.
Cannonball Adderley
Image
My own feelings about the direction in which jazz should go are that there should be much less stress on technical exhibitionism and much more on emotional content, on what might be termed humanity in music and the freedom to say all that you want.
Booker Little
Image
I was talented but crazy, semi-autistic and eccentric.
Andrew Hill
Image
Technically, I'm not a guitar player, all I play is truth and emotion.
Jimi Hendrix
Image
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.
George Eliot
Image
I don't worry too much about the fundamentalist principles that are in almost any discussion about Jazz.
Pat Metheny
Image
You only get better by playing.
Buddy Rich
Image
For me jazz is kind of an extension of hip-hop. Kind of the sad thing is that a lot of jazz people just listen to jazz, and a lot of hip-hop people just listen to hip-hop, and there's not a lot of crossover, unfortunately.
Jose James
Image
I've always written poetry but I didn't realise it was a therapy for me until I was maybe 15. That's when my singing started to come together as well because I was listening to so much jazz. What I love I will always embrace.
Amy Winehouse
Image
A chimpanzee could learn what I do physically, but it goes way beyond that. When you play, you play life.
Jaco Pastorius
Image
Well I went to New Orleans to cover the jazz festival for Trio, it's this new arts channel, it's really great.
Amy Sedaris
Image
But if you want to be a songwriter-based musician, whether you play punk or rock or country or jazz, whatever, you have to work on your songwriting and you have to work on being able to play in front of people, I think. That performance is how you create the groundwork for a lasting career.
