I listen to jazz mainly. Mainstream jazz.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
You need better technique than I have to play jazz, but what you have to do is the same thing, isn't it?
Charlie Watts
I'm a freak, everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will, my jazz teacher, set up everything completely flat, and then you'd tilt your snare drum away from you, so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me.
Travis Barker
It seems to me monstrous that anyone should believe that the jazz rhythm expresses America. Jazz rhythm expresses the primitive savage.
Isadora Duncan
That's the thing about jazz: it's free flowing, it comes from your soul.
Billy Crystal
The point of jazz is, you do something and then you go on.
Van Morrison
If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
Louis Armstrong
It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands.
George Santayana
