If our history can challenge the next wave of musicians to keep moving and changing, to keep spiritually hungry and horny, that's what it's all about.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What the world is saying to us human beings is, 'Don't stick to the old ways, learn to think anew.' And that's what musicians do every day.
I think we musicians are emissaries. Every time we go before the public, we're there to make converts.
We are so indebted to our ancestors, musically speaking, that they have left us 400 years of music.
Music is part of history, and our history has lessons that cannot be separated from our greatest music.
I think one of the reasons musicians keep doing what they do and writers keep doing what they do, is that we're totally unsuited for anything else. And I for one am much too lazy.
For too long, musicians have been the greatest enemy of music. Their lack of desire to proselytize is a kind of betrayal.
If we perform the romantic repertoire we need more musicians.
If we look at music history closely, it is not difficult to isolate certain elements of great potency which were to nourish the art of music for decades, if not centuries.
Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
History's most treasured musicians were believed in and cultivated to reach their potential. Today, it would be difficult for those musicians to get deals. We have the insight and the tools to identify and bring to fruition the dormant talent that our artists possess.
