Jazz translates the moment into a sense of inspiration for not only the musicians but for the listeners.
Herbie Hancock
Image
I didn't want my records to sound like anybody else, and when I've got my guys in the studio, I have a language with those guys because we work together every day. A lot of times, you bring in outside guys, studio players, whatever, and they're great musicians. It's just that they don't necessarily play the way I want it to be played.
Jason Aldean
Image
I think that what trips up a lot of great musicians is that they become involved with too many things that aren't where their strengths lie.
Will Oldham
Image
People need to put my music in a perspective where they use other established artists from the past, and almost all the names I see related to my music are great musicians.
Sondre Lerche
Image
I think some of the musicians are more like punk rock musicians. It's like an art as opposed to being a musician. It's definitely more radical psychedelic bands, more than anything.
Wayne Coyne
Image
You probably became a musicians because you're into it so stay that way. Don't believe that someone else has the golden ticket for you because they don't.
Stephan Jenkins
Image
We think about sitting in a space and hearing some music by having our ears pointed forward towards the musicians sitting opposite us. I'm really not following that paradigm at all.
Pauline Oliveros
Image
I am still very proud of that concert. In America, the (musicians') connection with the conductor is as with management - it becomes political. You cannot conduct properly in this environment. I hate this enemy situation between management and orchestra members.
Neeme Jarvi
Image
I think that's really important, that kids get exposed to music as soon as they can - not necessarily to become musicians, but at least have an outlet. It's an art form that's easily accessible to young ears.
Joe Perry
Image
All musicians practice ear training constantly, whether or not they are cognizant of it. If, when listening to a piece of music, a musician is envisioning how to play it or is trying to play along, that musician is using his or her 'ear' - the understanding and recognition of musical elements - for guidance.
Steve Vai
Image
They sign a bunch of women, and they call it a movement. I don't like the way women in music have been identified as women first and musicians second.
Michelle Shocked
Image
It was by listening to Goodman's band, that I began to notice the guitarist Charlie Christian, who was one of the first musicians to play solos in a big band set-up.
Alvin Lee
Image
A grandmaster needs to retain thousands of games in his head, for games are to him what the words of their mother tongue are to ordinary people, or notes or scores to musicians.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Artists and musicians of the Sixties were definitely into clothes.
Yoko Ono
Image
You know what rock musicians are? They are hung up, neurotic, over-weight hippies with sex problems.
David Lee Roth
Image
You don't see the European classical musicians allowing the music of Bach, Brahms, or Beethoven to become extinct. That music has gone on for centuries and centuries. We have the same obligation. Why do we have to become so 'hip' that we can say, 'Bebop is square,' or New Orleans is square'? This, to me, is a shame.
Rahsaan Roland Kirk
Image
I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me
Rosanna Arquette
Image
Like many musicians, I don't look back much... only concentrate on what music I'm doing, and occasionally look ahead.
Tony Levin
Image
I've heard from writers and musicians and fans that they think I'm underrated.
Rick Springfield
Image
I like to follow my favorite team and talk sports with my band or fans. You won't believe how many musicians are sports fans. We have so much time on tour that we need these outlets for relaxation.
Garth Brooks
Image
A lot of the people that I photograph are master musicians themselves, whether they're singers or great jazz players and it's kind of fun to figure out who they came up with and who they emulated or who they idolized actually.
Carol Friedman
Image
The funny thing is musicians often love to go to see visual art because you've got all these pictures to turn into metaphors.
Dar Williams
Image
I would say that for the younger musicians, technical proficiency is necessary and a given these days. But the study and the way you function in society, your beliefs and the way you live, that is where you will find a real musician, a real artist.
David Finckel
Image
I actually think that many of the musicians who have something meaningful to say don't win competitions. An incredible pianist like Horowitz had so much to say, but he might not win anything in competition because of his wrong notes.
