Music Called

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or called:

“It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character.”

“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
