#Jazz

"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."

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

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

"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."
