A Disgrace to Jazz?
• “It bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It’s not. It’s a feeling.”
• --Bill Evans
• People who use terms like “the Chicagoans” or “New Orleans-Style”—I despise that stuff. I get so disgusted that you have to be from one particular part of the country to play good jazz.”
• --Pee Wee Russell
