#Jazz

"Now listen for your song. Everybody’s got a song. When I used to chase the Trane— John Coltrane that is— he used to tell me, ‘If I know a man’s sound, I know the man.’ Do you hear the melody playing in your mind? Does it move you, nudge you off your seat?"

"Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise."

"As far as playing jazz, no other art form, other than conversation, can give the satisfaction of spontaneous interaction."

"When I hear Jazz, my first instinct is to lean over to the guy next to me and whisper, "Fourth floor, please."

"Amy [Winehouse] changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues."

"Jazz can be so serious, no sense of humor."
