Jazz Instrumental Performance

Famous quotes containing the words jazz, instrumental and/or performance:

    There’s more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that’s because the audience doesn’t really know what’s happening.

    I guard this box, as I would the instrumental parts of my religion, to help my mind on to something better.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
