When those people get up at the Grammys and say, "I thank God", I always imagine God going, "Oh, don't - please don't thank me for that one. Please, oh, that's an awful one! Don't thank me for that--that's a piece of shit!" Bono
If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know. Louis Armstrong I would go to the library and borrow scores by all those great composers, like Stravinsky,Alban Berg, Prokofiev. I wanted to see what was going on in all of music. Knowledge is freedom and ignorance is slavery, and I just couldn't believe someone could be that close to freedom and not take advantage of it. Miles Davis You can't copy anybody and end up with anything. If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music. Billie Holiday There are so many quotes that I love and keep around me for inspiration, it is hard to choose....they go on ad infinitum!  "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."

Mostly about Jazz...
"A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I’m stil doing it." "If they act too hip, you know they can’t play shit." "I never thought that the music called “jazz” was ever meant to reach just a small group of people, or become a museum thing locked under glass like all the other dead things that were once considered artistic." "I really liked Wynton [Marsalis] when I first met him. He’s still a nice young man, only confused." "Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself." "Jazz music has got to have that thing. You have to be born with it. You can't even buy it. If you could buy it, they'd have it at the next Newport festival." Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there. "Music is an addiction." ~ Miles Davis "It's like an act of murder; you play with intent to commit something." ~ Duke Ellington "It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play." "Men have died for this music. You can't get more serious than that." ~ Dizzy Gillespie "Because of (early jazz writers) lack of understanding of the mechanics of music, they thought there weren't any mechanics. It was the "they all can sing, they all have rhythm" syndrome. If that was the case, why was there only one Louis Armstrong?" ~ Wynton Marsalis "Where human eyes have never seen, where human beings have never been, I build a world of abstract dreams, and I wait for you." ~ Sun Ra "Jazz is freedom. You think about that." ~ Thelonius Monk "Improvisation is the ability to talk to oneself." ~ Cecil Taylor "I'm not here to raise hippie consciousness, I'm here to wet some panties." ~ Jaco Pastorius "Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity." ~ Charles Mingus "...I think people overemphasize the importance of gear in their search for tone. Your sound comes from how you pick and dampen the strings and from your attack as much as anything..." ~ Eric Johnson "At heart I've always been a jazz man." ~ James Brown "Boxing is like jazz, the better it is, the less people appreciate it." ~ George Foreman "Regarding jam sessions: Jazz musicians are the only workers I can think of who are willing to put in a full shift for pay and then go somewhere else and continue to work for free." ~ George Carlin "Technically, I'm not a guitar player, all I play is truth and emotion." "Music is my religion. ~ Jimi Hendrix ...

You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.

"People get very blase about their big hit. It was the song that really made the Rolling Stones, changed us from just another band into a huge, monster band. You always need one song." - Mick Jagger talking about my second favorite Stones song, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" - recorded and release in 1965. | |

Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
Frank Zappa No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to. Frank Zappa One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds. Frank Zappa Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. Frank Zappa “I know what I've done for music, but don't call me a legend. Just call me Miles Davis.” Miles Davis I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I'm doing . . . the emotional reaction is all that matters as long as there's some feeling of communication, it isn't necessary that it be understood.” John Coltrane I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know. James Brown I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated. James Brown I've outdone anyone you can name - Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500. James Brown I wish they'd had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would've been straightened out. Jimi Hendrix I'm gonna put a curse on you and all your kids will be born completely naked. Jimi Hendrix Beware the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you'll suck forever.” Brian Wilson quote "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |
