Look, man, all I am is a trumpet player.

You should never be comfortable, man. Being comfortable fouled up a lot of musicians.
music men artist
The thing to judge in any jazz artist is, does the man project and does he have ideas.
music jazz heroin
Jazz is like blues with a shot of heroin!
wife guy ego
Sometimes [playing free] doesn't happen, because maybe a guy's wife'll come in, you know, and his ego will catch him. If everybody's completely just straight-without any old ladies over here, a fourth of whisky over there; if it's balanced right, it'll come off. It has to be. But when you get egos involved with playing free, you can't do it.

I don't care if a dude is purple with green breath as long as he can swing.
music silence framework
Music is the framework around the silence.
music guitar sound
Joao Gilberto on guitar could read a newspaper and sound good.

There are no wrong notes.

So What or Kind of Blue were done in that era, the right hour, the right day. It's over; it's on the record.

Don't play what's there, play what's not there.

[Prince] could very well be the Duke Ellington of Rock 'n' Roll.
best-love morning eye
If you love them in the morning with their eyes full of crust; if you love them at night with their hair full of rollers, chances are, you're in love.
nice mean men
Tom Jones is funny to me, man. I mean, he really tries to ape Ray Charles and Sammy Davis, you know. He's nice-looking; he looks good doing it. I mean, if I was him, I'd do the same thing. If I was only thinking about making money.
