"Jazz
to me is a living music. It's a music that since
its beginning has expressed the feelings, the
dreams, hopes, of the people."

Dexter Gordon -
"I think as long as people are around and
can hear a record and hear people like Lester
Young on a recording, there will always be a great
inspiration for somebody to try to create jazz."
- Sonny Rollins -
"As far as playing jazz, no other art form,
other than conversation, can give the satisfaction
of spontaneous interaction."
