What I love about jazz is that it's full of legends, full of myths. It's an oral history because it started in New Orleans and Kansas City, under the radar.

Jazz music by its very nature is just a conglomerate of a lot of different kinds of music.

One thing I like about jazz is that it emphasized doing things differently from what other people were doing.

It's something that - jazz is one of the few things that you can go and listen to, I don't care where you're from, what you are, what background you come from - there's something there for you.

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

Jazz to me is a living music. It's a music that since its beginning has expressed the feelings, the dreams, hopes, of the people.

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

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

I've got wide tastes, but I don't like jazz.
