Jazz, for me, is a closed circuit, like the term baroque in the world of classical music.
Jan Garbarek
The only element of jazz that I keep is improvisation.
Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise.
George Gershwin
You don't rehearse jazz to death to get the camera angles.
Stan Getz
Diana Krall knocks me out. I like jazz and I like her simple approach.
Merle Haggard
Jazz is about being in the moment.
Herbie Hancock
It pulled me like a magnet, jazz did, because it was a way that I could express myself.
One thing I like about jazz is that it emphasized doing things differently from what other people were doing.
It's not exclusive, but inclusive, which is the whole spirit of jazz.
The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness.
