One thing about playing the real jazz is that you can't count it.
I can imagine an utter hatred for the jazz avant-garde.
I have two main bass guitars, and my main bass is a four-string 1964 Fender Jazz, and I've named it Justine.
Jazz told people about the special music that came out of America and about America in general and this kind of liberty and freedom that we have.
Jazz stands for freedom. It's supposed to be the voice of freedom: Get out there and improvise, and take chances, and don't be a perfectionist - leave that to the classical musicians.
I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.
I'm done with industrial. Seriously, my iPod collection at home has no industrial music on it; it's strictly jazz, blues and country.
The people in Japan know more about the history of jazz and the musicians than the people in the United States do.
The history of all big jazz bands shows was, first they played for dancing, and then they played for singing.
I think jazz is actually quite unforgiving in its disdain for nostalgia. It demands creativity and change at its highest level.
Well I went to New Orleans to cover the jazz festival for Trio, it's this new arts channel, it's really great.
That's kind of like how jazz is sometimes. You're out there predicting the future, and no one believes you.
I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards - Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.
I was a jazz drummer, and it was my life for a while: what I lived and breathed every day.
Jazz fans love Miles and I love him for a myriad of reasons, but the overviews are always too simplistic.
I love jazz and funk, because it's hard. If it's not hard, it's not worth doing.
Nothing jazzes me up like football. I've acquired more passion of the years, not less. Not to love it wouldn't make sense.
Yes, I have been studying piano since I was six. Classical, jazz, compositional, Broadway, everything. I just love it all.
In 1994, I started touring again and I recorded two albums for Chesky Jazz.
We went to see all the shows. American musical theater and jazz were very big.
It's something that jazz has gotten away from, and it's unfortunate. Players aren't physical anymore.
