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
Jazz is rhythm and meaning.
Henri Matisse
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
What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.
Ray Charles
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
By and large, jazz has always been like the kind of a man you wouldn't want your daughter to associate with.
Duke Ellington
The blues and jazz will live forever... So will the Delta and the Big Easy.
Jack Nicholson
I wanna show that gospel, country, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, rock 'n' roll are all just really one thing. Those are the American music and that is the American culture.
Etta James
My mother was a jazz fanatic and she wanted me to play the piano so I could play jazz tunes. I wish I had learned but I was too busy getting into trouble!
Etta James
It seems to me monstrous that anyone should believe that the jazz rhythm expresses America. Jazz rhythm expresses the primitive savage.
Isadora Duncan
If it comes out sounding like Dixieland jazz or classical or punk or rock or even slightly metal, that's because that's where I'm going to find inspiration.
Ben Harper
That's the thing about jazz: it's free flowing, it comes from your soul.
Billy Crystal
I also like Western classical music and jazz.
Nusrat F. A. Khan
Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.
Francoise Sagan
Jazz music is an intensified feeling of nonchalance.
Francoise Sagan
And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.
Travis Barker
I listen to jazz mainly. Mainstream jazz.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
If it has more than three chords, it's jazz.
Lou Reed
I have been steadily exchanging a rock audience who were nervous about what they had just bought for a jazz audience who not only were happy with their purchase, but are increasingly coming again.
Bill Bruford
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
