"There is a lot more to playing jazz than notes, scales, theory, horizontal,
vertical, amps, strings guitars etc. That's all the easy part." (Jimmy
Bruno)
"I think where many novices go wrong is that they concentrate too much and
too long on the technical aspects of playing and never get to the
repertoire, and jazz is ALL about the repertoire." (Joey Goldstein)
"I always thought of musical progress as meeting a series of walls: you get
stuck in front of a wall, and then suddenly you can climb over it with ease.
You bop along for a bit, and then another walls appears." (Max Leggett)
"Since I couldn't pick every note, I developed more of a legato thing. That
was a weakness that turned into something good." (John Scofield)
"The music has generated all the techniques I use. When I sit down to learn
to play something it is not because I want to master a technique. It is
because I want to hear what an idea sounds like." (Pat Martino)
"Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we
play, he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to
college, to a school of higher learning." (B.B.King)
"Not everyone is going to like what I do, and that's something I can accept.
If everyone liked what I did, I probably wouldn't be playing anything of
depth." (Joshua Redman)
