I like jazz, but I could never play it. You just sit there with a guitar the size of a Chevy on your chest, wearing a stupid hat, playing the same solo for an hour.
Dave Mustaine

I hate Stanley Clark, but I have to admit he's playing Jazz whether I like it or not.
Lester Bangs

I love good rock'n'roll, blues and jazz, gospel, and a little reggae.
Jerry Hall

Well I went to New Orleans to cover the jazz festival for Trio, it's this new arts channel, it's really great.
Amy Sedaris

Well, I think writing is basically about time and rhythm. Like with jazz. You have your basic melody and then you just riff off of it. And the riffs are about timing.

I am famous because I am an African American jazz artist.
Nat King Cole

My music is jazz.
Yusef Lateef

People have taken time out of their day and spent their money to come sit down at a concert. And it's jazz music-it's not easy for them to get to it. I don't want them ever to feel that I'm taking their presence lightly.
Wynton Marsalis

Jazz is not the kind of music you are going to learn to play in three or four years or that you can just get because you have some talent for music.
Wynton Marsalis

There's the tradition in jazz of having the Battle of the Bands, and you do not want to get your head cut when you're playing.
Wynton Marsalis

And I used to listen to a lot of jazz.
Debra Wilson

I haven't a great jazz band, and I don't want one.

In my view a jazz musician is a great musician.
Michael Parkinson

If I am playing any music at all it is jazz music.

Jazz is about being in the moment.

Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time.
Ornette Coleman

I also like Western classical music and jazz.
Nusrat F. A. Khan

I think jazz is good, but I don't enjoy it. It's not for me.
Ted Rall

By its very nature, no one person can ever be the center of jazz.
Ken Burns

I think that people should learn about that. In most music, there's one way that you do something, and that's the only way. In jazz, it's a lot different.
Billy Higgins
