Jazz Fake Book

Famous quotes containing the words jazz, fake and/or book:

    “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)

    “to become a pimp
    Or deal in fake jewelry or ruin a fine tenor voice
    For effects that bring down the house could happen to all
    But the best and the worst of us . . .”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “A healthy man, with steady employment, as wood-chopping at fifty cents a cord, and a camp in the woods, will not be a good subject for Christianity. The New Testament may be a choice book to him on some, but not on all or most of his days. He will rather go a-fishing in his leisure hours. The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers, and never trolled for pickerel on inland streams.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
