By and large, jazz has always been like the kind of a man you wouldn't want your daughter to associate with.
Duke Ellington
I'm the only guy in the jazz business who made it without any talent!

I think because it deals with jazz, and urban issues affecting Kansas City.

Jazz really doesn't have any boundaries.
Stephen Perkins
Jazz may well be considered America's most treasured and most influential export, ... From its earliest days until now it has continued to grow creatively -- yet the people who have given us this art form deserve far greater recognition.
Dana Gioia
We're getting there. We're a very highly regarded jazz festival, still very much dedicated to mainstream jazz. Audiences appreciate that we haven't gone too far off the mission.
Carol Stone
The big tall buildings, the jazz, the traffic, all of it is communicated through the music. It's incredible. You feel like you are there.
Bob Schaer
City Parks has the authority to extend the hours for special events, such as jazz concerts, flea markets etc.
Jenny Moodley
That certainly doesn't mean it's not significant. How much jazz gets played on the radio?

It's not really jazz. This is scarier. That's why I want to do it.

My music is jazz.
Yusef Lateef
New Orleans is where jazz was born, and jazz is my passion.

I do a lot (of business) with local jazz players.

If you are a jazz lover, this is a must-see performance.
Sara Williams
Jazz has still not gotten to the point where it is totally, the most, the greatest thing is happening in music.
Billy Higgins
Miles Davis was revolutionary as a jazz musician and as an artist he was eclectic as well. He tried it all.
Rudy Siegel
People say we're a jazz group. But there's no way I would ever call myself a jazz drummer. The only thing that's jazz about us is keeping the need to move forward and evolve.
Alan Evans
Things changed so quickly. The Atlantic jazz department just went from under us.
Madeleine Peyroux
Very honored and proud that jazz has brought me to this acclaim by the Canadian people.

Herbie Hancock
It is movement integrated from ballet, modern and jazz.

Rock 'n' roll, jazz and traditional folk culture.

Also, ... Grappelli didn't start playing jazz until he was an adult, so you hear how he molded (his influences) into the jazz setting.
Mark O'connor
It's not a cheap festival, whether it's the talent or the infrastructure. We feel very fortunate to be able to bring on a partner like this. And it's very good for anybody in our community who feels that the jazz festival is a positive asset.
Jim Horowitz
You may not be able to hire Al Green, but local high schools and colleges might have a jazz band or a choir you can afford.

He's in a league by himself. Alex has forgotten more about jazz than most of us remember.

Renaud Donnedieu De Vabres
If a jazz player is really playing, the classical player will have to respect him.
Wes Montgomery
The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness.
Herbie Hancock
We're not a jazz band. A jazz band is for listening, and a dance band is for dancing. They are entirely different animals.

As with jazz, every performance is new and fresh. When it's in a museum setting, it automatically gives it a new context.
Curtis Carter
Soft Machine were going more in the direction of fusion jazz and I didn't like that.

The year kicks off with the efforts on Jazz.

It's certainly nice to get some excitement about your work, ... Especially in jazz these days. It's not the best of time, you know.
Mark Murphy
I am famous because I am an African American jazz artist.
Nat King Cole
Giving jazz the Congressional seal of approval is a little like making Huck Finn an honorary Boy Scout.
Melvin Maddocks
I couldn't believe how much all that little nitty-gritty can really jazz a house up.
Daniel Guadalupe
It was the first 36 (in all-around) for Jazz. She had a really good meet.

I've done what I've done but it's not enough. I'm a student of jazz and there's just so much more to learn.
James Moody
[The concert and clinic] aren't just for jazz fans, [they're] for music fans. We want people in the community to be exposed to music of a different culture.
Dan Weiner
Look, jazz has always had, because of its origins, that's the only reason. It's the only reason it's like that. Where it came from. It's not accepted.

The show was fantastic and was everything I could have expected from a live jazz concert.

We are the only major capital city in the world that doesn't have a jazz festival. It's a shame to me. This is the nation's capital. Jazz was invented in this country.

Treme has been a very vibrant area in terms of nurturing jazz through the generations.
