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)

    Kitsch is the daily art of our time, as the vase or the hymn was for earlier generations. For the sensibility it has that arbitrariness and importance which works take on when they are no longer noticeable elements of the environment. In America kitsch is Nature. The Rocky Mountains have resembled fake art for a century.
    Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)

    Was ever book containing such vile matter
    So fairly bound? O that deceit should dwell
    In such a gorgeous palace!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
