I always told the people at Cal Arts that if they wanted me to do Jazz studies, first of all, there couldn't be a big band within 500 miles and that I could do what I wanted to do. And they said I could.
Charlie Haden

I find Indian music very funky. I mean it's very soulful, with their own kind of blues. But it's the only other school on the planet that develops improvisation to the high degree that you find in jazz music. So we have a lot of common ground.
John McLaughlin

I played saxophone, so I was into jazz. I learned from each audience and each teacher that I had. I can't really tell you any rules or anything, but the way I develop my beliefs is really just by personally learning from different situations.
Chad Hugo

We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together; we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians.
Chad Smith

Rita Coolidge

My stuff was more of a folk coffeehouse thing, with more acoustic guitar, just me doing a single, and then adding on instruments and voices, with emphasis on lyrics and singing and light kind of acoustic jazz.
Dan Hicks

Charlie Hunter

I was in every band class I could get in, like after school jazz band and marching band, and that's where I really learned to read music from elementary all the way through junior high and high school.
Chad Smith

I was totally into jazz in my teens.
Andy Summers


Possibly, I should have been a jazz singer from the beginning.
Rita Coolidge

Rita Coolidge

You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That's jazz.
Oscar Peterson

I recorded my first jazz record in the '70s.
Rita Coolidge

I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop.
Anita Diament

The month of September is Women in Jazz, so I'm doing jazz there in September. I'm in for the duration.
Rita Coolidge

I took several years of dance lessons that included ballet, tap and jazz. They helped a great deal with body control, balance, a sense of rhythm, and timing.
Lynn Swann

Jazz is a white term to define black people. My music is black classical music.
Nina Simone

I listen to jazz about three hours a day. I love Louis Armstrong.
Philip Levine

Well, I had started a program which is even longer running than this one in 1967 which was a jazz program called The Best of Jazz and that still goes out on Monday nights. That's been going for 33 years or something.
Humphrey Lyttelton
