There is a modern take on certain things you can do that, to me, is still jazz.

I've always loved jazz.

I find early jazz to be the most revolutionary music of its time.

If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.

Jazz is a very accurate, curiously accurate accompaniment to 20th century America.

I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.

Jazz is like wine. When it is new, it is only for the experts, but when it gets older, everybody wants it.

I never studied jazz technically; I just know and love the music.

I find as much inspiration from the forerunners of jazz as I do the modern-day innovators of jazz.

Jazz needs the help. It's the more sophisticated music. All the other music is on the TV, but jazz isn't.
