You`re going to say `what about other kids?` They get hurt in other sports but I think it would have to be hockey and I know at least five or six other guys that it would just help the families so much.
Don Cherry
You`re creating an intimacy that everybody feels, that it`s their experience, not yours. I`ll never introduce a song and say, now this song is about `my` broken heart.
Diana Krall
You know, I`ve sung a lot of emotional songs in my life, but when you`re writing it yourself, it`s very difficult to decide what to reveal.
Diana Krall
When you drive by Radio City and you see your name up there and it`s only `your` name. I just went `ooh`. I thought this is really like looking at another person.
Diana Krall
When I auditioned for my high school band the band director was excited because my father was known to be a great musician. When he heard me, he said `Are you sure you`re Ellis`s son?`
Wynton Marsalis
What, other than injustice, could be the reason that the displaced citizens of New Orleans cannot be accommodated by the richest nation in the world?
Wynton Marsalis
Well, you know, it`s been interesting because an album is just a snapshot of where you are at that time. Not all pictures of everybody are just in jeans and a `T` shirt, or a ball gown. You have many different sides and this is a snapshot of where you are...
Diana Krall
Well, jazz is to me, a complete lifestyle. It`s bigger than a word. It`s a much bigger force than just something that you can say. It`s something that you have to feel. It`s something that you have to live.
Ray Brown
We had to do a lot of rehearsals to get it so that it was playable. What it did was make you practice. That`s good for any musician to have that kind of pressure. It brings things out of you that might not come out if you don`t have to reach for something...
Ray Brown
They played so good it was frightening. And I, of course, being young, was in awe of everything that was going on and rightly so. I mean, it was too good to believe.
Ray Brown
There`s a way of playing safe, there`s a way of using tricks and there`s the way I like to play which is dangerously where you`re going to take a chance on making mistakes in order to create something you haven`t created before.
Dave Brubeck
There were some things that I found I really enjoyed singing about; like, on the title track, there`s this film-noir character of a woman who`s sort of losing it in a room.
Diana Krall
There was one thing Beethoven didn`t do. When one of his string quartets was played, you can believe the second violin wasn`t improvising.
Wynton Marsalis
There really have only ever been a few people in each generation who step out, are willing to put themselves on the line, and risk everything for their beliefs.
Wynton Marsalis
There are forces all around you who wish to exploit division, rob you of your freedom, and tell you what to think. But young folks can rekindle the weary spirit of a slumbering nation.
