Jazz is a music of great achievements but speed and chops serve a different function in jazz.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Jazz is not something that can be defined through blunt instruments. It is much more poetic than that.
Jazz is rhythm and meaning.
Jazz is a hard music, and you have to really work hard and also have fun performing; that's the most important thing.
Jazz is like wine. When it is new, it is only for the experts, but when it gets older, everybody wants it.
The point of jazz is, you do something and then you go on.
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.
Jazz is a very democratic musical form. It comes out of a communal experience. We take our respective instruments and collectively create a thing of beauty.
Some people say that if you do anything other than a straight-ahead groove, that it's not jazz. But that kind of labeling is wrong. Music is what it is; if it sounds good, it sounds good.
Jazz is smooth and cool. Jazz is rage. Jazz flows like water. Jazz never seems to begin or end. Jazz isn't methodical, but jazz isn't messy either. Jazz is a conversation, a give and take. Jazz is the connection and communication between musicians. Jazz is abandon.
