"My reference is the blues, and that's where my music comes from. I do listen to music of other cultures, but I just find them interesting. I don't have to borrow from them. My music and my past are rich enough." Marion Brown September 8, 1931 - October 18, 2010

"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." Happy Birthday Ray Brown born October 13, 1926

"My approach to playing has been to find a sound around my sound and then write. Writing is a special thing to me. I want to play but... I'll develop... and I'll do it in my own way. You can't sacrifice integrity and still be you." Booker Little April 2, 1938 - October 5, 1961

"I think one of the beautiful things about art, in general, is that it provokes a personal experience. You look at a beautiful painting of some kind and each person will have different emotional responses to it. And the same with music." Happy Birthday Dave Holland 1 Oct 1946
