Μου πήρε μια ολόκληρη ζωή για να μάθω τι δεν πρέπει να παίζω
Dizzy Gillespie

Ο καθένας μπορεί να κάνει το απλό να μοιάζει περίπλοκο.
Η πραγματική δημιουργικότητα, είναι να κάνεις το περίπλοκο να μοιάζει απλό
Charles Mingus

So how can we make jazz work in the 21st century?
Is it heavy-handed production, drum machines, singers,
rappers, costumes and videos? No, those are just tools.
What I find is that hip-hop, R&B and rock & roll,
being 40 to 75 years old, have done a good job of making
the present version of their music the most relevant version
Kamasi Washington

“I only hope whoever’s out there listening, I hope they enjoying it. If they’re not enjoying it, then I’d rather not be there. I like an audience that does show what they feel and responds.”
John Coltrane

I think music is great and it keeps us believers alive and it keeps us realizing that there is a heaven, but for the other people, I don't think music can affect them, and even I used to feel at one time that music was great because it brought people together because that's what I saw.
Sonny Rollins

I had a lot of freedom to just be myself and play my interpretation of the music
Joe Lovano

Δεν τραγουδώ ποτέ το ίδιο κομμάτι
με τον ίδιο τρόπο δύο φορές
Billie Holiday
