Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or critics:
“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
“I don’t like to write like God. It is only because you never do it, though, that the critics think you can’t do it.”
