Notable quotes

“When people hear the word "jazzman," the first thing they think is unemployed, then dope and sex, but the young guys aren't like that anymore. I'd like a girl to be able to take me home and introduce me to her parents and hear them say, "Oh, a jazzman. Isn't that fine."”
— , "The New Jazz," Newsweek (December 12, 1966), p. 108
“The basic principles of all jazz styles are the same. Good musical taste, technical skill, and a firm grasp of the principles of chord construction and chord progression make up the sum total.”
— John Serry Sr The Syncopated Accordionist (1952) Preface
