Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or chord:

    “There’s more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that’s because the audience doesn’t really know what’s happening.”
    —Pat Metheny (b. 1954)

    “Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
    Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
    And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
    Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
    Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
    The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)
