You need not be a musician to understand jazz music. All you need is a sense for it...
To live your life
and miss this music -
that means to miss one of the best things life has to give. (Art Blakey) |
miles davis charly antolini JAZZ is visual music. You will understand jazz much better if you see how it's played, since jazz emanates from the body, is done with the body, with the whole body. You'd do better to see a musician enthralled in his playing than to just listen to him. (Joachim-Ernst Berendt) james newton |

Jazz is musical improvisation; it's the art of the moment. When recording jazz music the inspiration and the inventiveness of this moment are archived with technical aids, so that you are able to enjoy it even many years later. Photography is jazz for the eye. (William Claxton) howard johnson lionel hampton
The tones are
on the street and on the roofs, on the bodies and pianos, in the pores and diodes, in the lungs and synapses, in the brains and in the future, and the jazz musicians it's they who pick them up. |
