What ever truth drops on it eventually grinds to a powder.

You can't seperate modern jazz from rock or from rhythm and blues - you can't seperate it. Because that's where it all started, and that's where it all come from - that's where I learned to keep rhythm - in church

The people know more about [Jazz] in other countries than in America. America is the last country to know about anything, because we're too fat, we have too much of everything, you understand? And we do not listen.

Who knows ... we'll be playing Jazz and having a good time!

We're here to have a ball.

All you have to do is be able to feel.

They say that Jazz is back, and I don't think it's gone anywhere. But they say it's back.
