I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media.
Brenda Lee

To me, Bill's musical heart is in Earthworks, in the jazz they are playing, in the acoustic kit.
Robert Fripp

Every musical movement that is big enough has to produce some good musicians who wouldn't have had the incentive to start playing without it.
Alexis Korner

Sondheim is the Shakespeare of the musical theater world.
Mandy Patinkin

Look, I'm 40, I'm single, and I work in musical theater - you do the math!
Nathan Lane

Jazz is known all over the world as an American musical art form and that's it. No America, no jazz. I've seen people try to connect it to other countries, for instance to Africa, but it doesn't have a damn thing to do with Africa.
Art Blakey

We teach young kids from 8 to 14 or 15 about their musical heritage through great songs written by American songwriters. We don't do too many modern composers, although we include songs from Billy Joel and other writers like him.
Margaret Whiting

Negro music and culture are intrinsically improvisational, existential. Nothing is sacred. After a decade, a musical idea, no matter how innovative, is threatened.
Archie Shepp

When I was a kid, I went through a lot of musical phases, and one was when I'd learn everything that The Beatles ever recorded. After I started drums, I fell in love with their music so much that I just wanted to learn everything.
Eric Carr

I like Rufus Wainwright a whole lot. He makes me wanna be even more musical.
Edie Brickell

Other, far fewer, directors are more like the composer - conceptualizing the piece, scoring it, distributing its musical lines among a range of registers, chords, and instruments.
Thomas Harrison

I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I'm a big musical theatre geek.
Mandy Moore

Certainly one of the more common experiences in the jazz field is discovering someone new. Improvising musicians are capable of being musical travelers, voyagers. We want to join in on whatever we hear. There is a freedom to wander the musical landscape.
Gary Burton

I never learned to verbalize an abstract musical concept. No thank you. The whole point of being a serious musician is to avoid verbalization whenever you can.
Virgil Thomson

What a thrill it was to play opposite Maurice Evans in this brilliant, dazzling musical, based on the life of two of the greatest personalities in stage history.
Dinah Sheridan

And when I met Cecil Taylor it was a complete transformation of musical identities. All the tenets that I had grown up with were thrown out the window.
Archie Shepp

I'm very influenced by landscapes, not so much the way places look as the way the names sound. In this country we've got so many cultures, and the place names - the Spanish names and the Indian names, which are so incredibly musical.
Emmylou Harris

Eventually we want to do a puppet musical with turntables in the orchestra pit.
Eric San

I signed up for the musical Tommy in the West End, where I met my husband.
Kim Wilde

The film was fair to his musical achievement and gave him every opportunity to explain himself.
Martin Bashir
