He's not a performer, he's not a composer, he's not even a musician, but Norman Granz is Mr. Jazz.

I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument capable of expressing every possible musical idea.

He's not a performer, he's not a composer, he's not even a musician, but Norman Granz is Mr. Jazz.

I am the worlds laziest writer.

I despair about the lack of proper respect shown for the piano. If you want it to sound like a traffic jam, go out in the street and forget the piano. That's not a piano sound.

It's the group sound that's important, even when you're playing a solo. You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That's jazz.

We're not like pop musicians who have to perform the same top ten tunes every night of a tour.
