• “If you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know” — Louis Armstrong

• “Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there” — Miles Davis

• “Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty good and you win.  Some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins. This goes on and on and then you die, and the horn wins” — Dizzy Gillespie

• “Well, jazz is to me, a complete lifestyle. It’s bigger than a word. It’s a much bigger force than just something that you can say. It’s something that you have to feel. It’s something that you have to live.” — Ray Brown

• “I am an optimist. From where I sit, music is mostly all right, or at least in a healthy state for the future, in spite of the fact that it may sound as though it is being held hostage.” — Duke Ellington
