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
That's the thing about jazz: it's free flowing, it comes from your soul.
Billy Crystal
Diana Krall knocks me out. I like jazz and I like her simple approach.
Merle Haggard
The point of jazz is, you do something and then you go on.
Van Morrison
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
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.
Van Morrison
Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The blues and jazz will live forever... So will the Delta and the Big Easy.
Jack Nicholson
