Feed the musician, and he's out of tune.

George Crabbe

I may not lead the most dramatic life, but in my brain it's War and Peace everyday.

Rufus Wainwright

The wise musicians are those who play what they can master.

Duke Ellington

Ideally, we will see something we recognize from the conductor's reading in the musicians' readings about two seconds later, and then in the audience's readings.

Daniel Levitin

The great musicians are those who can reach people, who can make people feel something.

Sam Rivers

The people at Apple fully understand the interaction between musicians and their audience.

Jimmy Iovine

These were products that were going out and replacing sales of the legitimate product made by the musicians.

Brad Buckles

The well-deserved attention that Scott has enjoyed in the 1990s and 2000s has come not only from the jazz community, but from pop fans as well. I have met numerous rock and R&B musicians who aren't heavily into jazz but absolutely adore Jimmy Scott.

Alex Henderson

Most musicians I know cannot open up.

John Fahey

What 'jazz' means to me is the worst kind of working conditions, the worst in cultural prejudice. The term 'jazz' has come to mean the abuse and exploitation of black musicians.

Maxim Gorky

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted?

George Carlin

All of the musicians hope that this was not some sort of a charade to get us to the table and not reach an agreement and then blame us for a bankruptcy.

Tim Zavadil

I'm an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers, ... They use my tools.

Robert Moog

They are both such good singers and musicians. It will be a real treat to have them back.

Jeff Hyslop

The next benefit will be even bigger and will have some surprise musicians and guests. Our support for the NVF is unwavering, and we will continue to help in any way we can.

Pat Simmons

You know the city's coming back. There's too much to preserve. There's too much history. There's too much music, too much jazz. Just the musicians themselves. There's thousands of them. All able, all able.

George Brumat

That gets you access to double to pool of actors, funding, musicians, whatever you need.

Catherine Hardwicke

Steve touched a lot of musicians here (in Greeley). It's heartwarming to me that everyone wants to help.

Hal Pettit

Well I'm a third-generation musician. My Grandfather's a musician and my father and mother were both musicians and so I'm a musician. It was just natural that I should be a musician 'cause I was born into the family.

Sam Rivers

In this business, TV is being taken up not by the true artists or the actors or the musicians any more, they are just being taken up by the common man, which gives everyone that feeling that there's a chance for me yet to be a star.

Anastacia

It becomes an annual family reunion ... a gathering point for musicians from all over the country.

Mark Hansen

You can definitely tell the growth of the band and how we've become tighter as musicians and friends.

Cam Grenstiner

It's a funny thing about musicians. You can't just have one guitar, you have to have many. I currently have 10, but at one time, I sold 70.

Rick Parker

We get all kinds of musicians. We teach, we exchange music, we jam. It's a social, fun thing to do.

Sergio Morrell

Growing around [great musicians], you just can't help it. I identified with it immediately. It was something that was so natural to me that when I started singing, it was almost like speaking.

Whitney Houston

Um, musicians are funnier you know, than actors on the whole.

Tim Curry

CBGB always gave musicians a platform to say important things, ... It's time we did something to save one of New York's great institutions.

Public Enemy

That's how we came up with the name, it was songs that were from the beginning of our universe as musicians.

Ricky Phillips

We hear a lot of musicians, but Willie was the favorite of everybody who worked here. His voice was incredible, but his passion set him aside from everybody else.

Patrick Mccoy

Everything is donated so there's no expenses. All the musicians are all playing for free. So, whatever we raise, we raise.

Will Wynn

We know that the musicians will speak together and work together. I think we really will do some icebreaking on that front.

Paul Taub

I do not believe in file sharing or illegally downloading music. I pay for all my music. I listen to music everyday. It is my life. I can not imagine violating musicians' rights by illegally obtaining it.

Joe Avila

This is my favorite combo of musicians. It's one of the finest jazz groups out there. I'm just proud to be in it.

Chris Botti

I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?

Chris Isaak

Performing at the hospital is very fulfilling for the musicians.

Mary Nelson

Jazz is a music that translates the moment into a sense of inspiration for not only the musicians but for the listeners.

Herbie Hancock

Musicians know how special he was. There was never anyone else like him.

Jimmy Lafave

Maestro Behr was a dynamic conductor who worked so well with soloists, the chorus and the musicians of the orchestra, all of whom respected him greatly. He will be deeply missed.

Placido Domingo

[The students] don't get this kind of opportunity much - [hearing] some of the best musicians in the world. For these kids to be exposed to something like this is remarkable.

Dan Weiner

[Other musicians expressed their sorrow.] He was an unassuming, quiet, great musician, ... Just a lovely man, he was.

Tom Jones

I love playing all kinds of music, ... And the way to learn that music is with the musicians who invented that style. It's hard to write a style--you need to absorb it.

David Grisman

It's very exciting. To me, he's someone who is a big-name musician that can bring other musicians along.

Chris Kelley

All of these people kept on being professional musicians and composers in the strictest sense.

James Tenney

The musicians will come back. It's going to take a long time, but New Orleans can actually be a better place because of this.

Donald Harrison

The art music of the West has developed through out its history by means of individual geniuses, and out of the soil supporting them; non-Western musicians were born, and grew like the grasses of the field.

Toru Takemitsu

At the risk of sounding hopelessly romantic, love is the key element. I really love to play with different musicians who come from different cultural backgrounds.

John Mclaughlin

It was fun to go back in the day like that, and eventually more (musicians) are going to be down with this. This is going to be big, man, and even radio is going to have some fun with this thing.

George Clinton

All he did was fight for the rights of his black fellow musicians for them not to be ripped off.

Marion Jones

All these students deserve congratulations for their excellent showings at both all-region and area competitions. WHS is fortunate to have so many musicians of this caliber and commitment in our program.

Rich Armstrong

CSE is calling the shots. We'll be out here as long as we can, but there's no point in being our here if there are high winds and it's too dangerous for the musicians to play.

Fred Schmidt

I really don't have a shopping list of musicians. You can never tell who is going to spark off that chemistry, that magic.

Hugh Hopper

We are expecting another outstanding group of musicians to compete again this year. The music and the arts and crafts make this one of the biggest events held annually in North Alabama.

Gayle Davis

Is there anything you'd like to tell the musicians?

Rick Mccullough

We're extremely lucky to have him here. He's an amazingly talented player, and one of the most precise musicians I've ever dealt with. ... He improvises, but he doesn't make mistakes.

Doron Weber

Since music has never had a Rembrandt, we have remained nothing more than musicians.

Morton Feldman

That's the best birthday present -- to give something back to the musicians who have given this country so much.

David Amram

Bringing in musicians from around the Tampa Bay area and helping them get to know our town is great.

Amy Ellis

We have broader goals, like to become better musicians or a better band or better songwriters or to put on a better live show.

Chris Culos

( Fortune Favors the Bold ) just shows how much we've progressed and grown as musicians, and, more so, just bonded as a band. Things like Fernando and Michael knowing when they're going to change now. They just automatically change together; they're just symbiotic like that.

Marcus Davis

The sad thing is so many of the musicians have died.

John Sheppard

For the last record, the main people who got it were either musicians or people who were into music, ... This time I wanted to make a record that my mom could listen to when she cleans house.

Yuka Honda

I couldn't hear much, but didn't care. Until I saw the Beatles play live, I had no idea that musicians could generate that kind of adoration. I was transformed by the whole experience.

David Rivkin

We are competing with the top orchestras in the country for the top musicians. We can't just assume once we put out a notice, they will come.

Gerard Schwarz

We try our best to keep the quality nice. Some musicians are professional, and some are not. We try to make it as good as possible.

Susanna Gilk

Everybody else was just trying to copy folk musicians, I wasn't trying to do that.

John Fahey

Our marvelous musicians will be ably guided into the magnificent new theatre under David's leadership.

Karen Kain

This comes in June and will catalogue the career of one of the 20th century's greatest musicians.

Simon Lee

We were jazz musicians in the early days. But as soon as we brought in the DJ, the shows turned from people sitting down to dancing.

Felix Riebl

I thought I had swell ideas, and wonderful musicians, but the hell of it, no one else did.

Glenn Miller

It's a huge part of Mardi Gras, a huge part of New Orleans. All of a sudden, we decided, wouldn't it be great if we can assist the musicians of New Orleans by bringing them here to play?

Jim Timon

But we're not out to recruit future musicians, we just want to raise awareness of the arts.

Meghan Casper

He contributed to a new soundscape - a legacy that we will continue in his honour. He was a musical pioneer for the love of it and musicians everywhere have had the opportunity to expand their own creative horizons with Bob's inventions.

Michael Adams

We travel with musicians ranging in age from 18 to 70. When it comes to gospel music, they can do anything.

Allen Bailey

It was so much fun conducting an orchestra and watching the musicians' faces as some of Kanye's lyrics went by. They couldn't believe what was going on.

Jon Brion

It's a neater atmosphere because the ground slopes back there. People can sit up on the hill and look down on the musicians. People can spread out on the little hill of The Glen.

Joan Mcbride

A lot of the fans who have money to go see music will be leaving the city – and without audiences, clubs can't pay musicians, and then nobody gets gigs.

Jon Cleary

I respect them; they're smart, and I trust their individuality as musicians.

Tim Riordan

Of course, there are many, many musicians whose music gives me pleasure, but until I make contact with them, musically or personally, I never assume that anything wonderful will happen.

Hugh Hopper

Thompson was involved in the world of jazz. Jazz musicians were interested in his work, and he in theirs.

Curtis Carter

All the musicians get together -- the top blues guys from the old guard and the new.

Tommy Castro

The community really stepped up to the plate. It was really fun and the musicians had an awesome time playing.

Jennifer Young

Even though we care about our audiences and our judging community, we care about our kids first. What they're going to get out of it is the most important thing. We don't want to play music that has no substance. We want to make sure our kids are developing as musicians and intellectuals.

Richard Saucedo

We have musicians from as far away as Ontario and Seattle traveling all the way to Greenville to be a part of our first blues festival - this is exciting.

Nancy Idland

Most of the music we will be performing is by major black jazz musicians and composers.

Glenn Martin

As a guitar player, he was exemplary. So many musicians talked about how they wanted the George Harrison sound.

Martin Lewis

Areas like (Albuquerque) tend to have a lot of great musicians. Cities like that are isolated, so there are not as many things to do so you get immersed in the music. It's really great for kids to have stuff to do. Music is a great thing.

Laura Baca

This music is very eclectic, ... It's tough to find musicians who are experts in 15 different styles.

David Grisman

(The marching band) is a great fraternity of musicians. Joanne is certainly one of those people. She's one of the bright stars of AHS. We're proud of her.

Brian Wallace

We will probably focus on some of the Southern rock musicians throughout. And then focus on some of the acts too.

Joe Billhimer

He is able to expose artists to a diverse crowd, and he gives many musicians of different styles and levels a chance.

Mark Powers

He's one of the great, great, great musicians ... He is one of a kind: he is the lion of the desert.

Toumani Diabate

We're familiar with the notion of musicians reinterpreting the same song over and over, but we don't ever hear that with comedians.

Paul Provenza

The musicians that didn't know music could play the best blues. I know that I don't want no musicians who know all about music playin' for me.

Alberta Hunter

New Orleans was a musician's paradise. But if we all leave, that music scene could be gone.

Chris Lee

I did so much research that I knew what I was getting into. I was trying to find specific musicians.

Bela Fleck

Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art.

Izaak Walton

That's the beauty of this mandolin. It's the Holy Grail. Most musicians think it's in the New Testament. And it ought to be.

Vince Gill

World class and incredible musicians.

Jake Shimabukuro

I've been probably one of the most boot-legged artists ever. It's just another way of getting music that is wanted by the people to the people and now you can just download from the internet, so it might be different times now for musicians.

Bryan Adams

You mostly come to these things to support other musicians.

John Carr

People grow and mature as human beings, and the same is true for musicians.

Steve Richards

A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.

Frank Zappa

They are really incredible musicians and you don't have to be a hip-hop fan to like them.

Mike Good

It's great; it keeps people from having to drive an hour to listen to good jazz. It's especially good for the kids. Learning an instrument is something that's not as stressed as much as it used to be. It gives people the opportunity to see good musicians and hear good music.

Chris Kelley

The Academy is designed to create the ... music festival experience year-round by bringing together gifted musicians from the Fox Valley area.

Jason Palmer

I'm an engineer, ... I see myself as a toolmaker, and the musicians are my customers. They use the tools.

Robert Moog

The whole idea is to make it something that is appealing to all ages. The kids sometimes know more about the music than the musicians. Some of (the songs) are cartoon themes.

Heidi Dallin

The two musicians use no sheet music, play personal requests and interact with the crowd. They're a blast.

Janet Veach

Anything you do in a small ensemble, you can do at one of these concerts. Basically, a chamber ensemble is anywhere from one to 10 musicians and no conductor -- just musicians working things out among themselves.

Dr. Michael Stroeher

The musicians are really on board, they're doing a great job together. There is some kind of a good chemistry, I would say affectionate chemistry and it's a huge promise of success.

Lucien Bouchard

Our musicians really wanted to help in some way.

Margaret Williams

We are so lucky. The musicians are in the corner, so if a child in the audience can?t be engaged by the artwork or the scenery or the acting, then there are these fabulous live musicians.

Jill Womack

This Live and Loud is for musicians by musicians.

Ryan Hall

I was excited by what I felt could plausibly, hopefully be the melding of the dance and the music. I was excited to fold the musicians into the movement.

Doug Varone

Unfortunately, what they're playing on the radio now is not really fair to a lot of great musicians that are out there struggling to be heard.

Herb Alpert

As much money as can go toward that cause is going to help musicians who have been displaced and there are hundreds of them that have lost their homes in the New Orleans area.

John Nugent

It's my fault in many cases because I don't initiate the contact to talk with a lot of other musicians.

Frank Morgan

David is one of the most talented musicians ever, and he's never gotten his due. That cat is an amazing guitar player.

Jason Ricci

The money being used to build these homes for New Orleans musicians was raised by New Orleans musicians. Our pact with them was to help New Orleans' musical community.

Quint Davis

It was a gift. They're really community heroes. And they're all musicians and have a love of music and understand what the Phoenix nurtures.

Jane Hamilton

We have musicians coming from Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans to play in the band.

David Starkey

It's always been a place where musicians came on Friday to jam. To carry on a tradition that's been here for 40 years, I'm very privileged to do that.

Dick Fazio

I cannot put in danger the lives of my two children, my musicians and my technicians, so I have decided to cancel this concert.

Sinead O'connor

They really emerged as top-notch musicians.

Paul Green

If you're going to bring the city back, you got to bring it back with the musicians. If it wasn't for this place, I'd be out.

Jo Davis

Canceling the tour would have been bad news for everybody. Nothing good would have come out of it. Otherwise the musicians would not have agreed to go on the tour.

David Schoenbrun

As a composer, he was really a pioneer. He really is one of the most intelligent musicians out there. There are a lot of people out there who don't know his music. We thought of it as a great way to pay tribute to him.

Steve Bernstein

He's always excited about things that happen for me and for other musicians.

Bob Villa

The people in Japan know more about the history of jazz and the musicians than the people in the United States do.

Billy Higgins

It is really great to have designed something yourself and get compliments on it from fellow musicians, it definitely makes me feel good.

Tony Villalba

We're all over the map as musicians. We're like Hungry Hippos: If each ball was a genre, we'd be all over it.

Marc Friedman

It will also promote cultural and educational opportunities for musically talented youth and aspiring musicians in Jamaica.

Walter Elmore

Are all Canadians talented musicians? Sometimes it seems like it.

Brent Grulke

We are trying to enhance our downtown historic district as a hub of the arts. ... It's all about local talent, local artists, local musicians. It's about highlighting people in our community.

Cathy Cole

The musicians and we know that this is important to the future of the New York Philharmonic and of classical music.

Zarin Mehta

I think the jazz musicians have had less problems than people who feel jazz should be just one thing.

Ethan Iverson

Painters can study the masters can't they? Musicians can hear Beethoven. What will filmmakers do?

Eva Marie Saint
