<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'arial black', 'avant garde'; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Jazz Quotes</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Only play what you hear. If you don't hear anything, don't play anything. ~ Chick Corea</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A beat is a moment in the life a groove. ~ Wynton Marsalis</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise... ~ George Gershwin</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Jazz washes away the dust of every day life. ~ Art Blakey</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Remember, information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; music is the best. ~ Frank Zappa</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I think there are only three things America will be known for 2,000 years from now when they study this civilization: the Constitution, jazz music, and baseball. ~ Frank Zappa</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another. ~ Frank Zappa</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Jazz is a mental attitude rather than a style. It uses a certain process of the mind expressed spontaneously through some musical instrument. I'm concerned with retaining that process. ~ Bill Evans</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Blues is to jazz what yeast is to bread--without it, it's flat. ~ Carmen McRae</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity. ~ Charles Mingus</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play. ~ Dizzy Gillespie</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Silence also swings. ~ John Mehegan</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Do not fear mistakes, there are none. ~ Miles Davis</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I think that a musician is like a doctor, he's supposed to heal people and make them feel better.~ Steve Turre</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Jazz is freedom. You think about that. ~ Thelonius Monk</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Jazz tickles your muscles, symphonies stretch your soul ~ Paul Whiteman</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges. ~ Benny Green</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing. ~ Duke Ellington</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">~ Charlie Parker</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Music is mysterious because life is mysterious. Artistic expression reaches toward God. Music needs emotion because people can hear emotion. We all have opportunities to express ourselves in various ways, some of us are lucky to have been given the gift to do this through music. ~ Tom Harrell</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Make no mistake, jazz music is for everyone. Jazz is not an exclusive, elite club. Go ahead, listen to your Snoop Doggy Dog, Pearl Jam, Garth Brooks, but add a little Ellington, Basie and Coltrane to your life as well. ~ Christian McBride</p>
