My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.
Neil Young
And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.
Travis Barker
I can turn on some jazz guitarist, and he won't do a thing for me, if he's not playing electrically. But Jeff Beck's great to listen to.
Ritchie Blackmore
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.
Van Morrison

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Well, I think writing is basically about time and rhythm. Like with jazz. You have your basic melody and then you just riff off of it. And the riffs are about timing.
Kathy Acker
I listen to jazz mainly. Mainstream jazz.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The blues and jazz will live forever... So will the Delta and the Big Easy.
Jack Nicholson
