is jazz? |
| "Okay, so we are playing Jazz. So you've got to think fast. It's music where you have to think on your toes. | ||

So
much of music is a challenge but to achieve the "JAZZ"
in Jazz is the ultimate, the hunger for Swing, the desire
to move and be moved, the Blues.
It's all there when it's Jazz. We practise going over and over the melodies, over and over the harmonies, suddenly that thought, that idea is triggered, isolated, worked on, expanded into many permutations... ... then dissolved and returned to the music with logic, inspiration, and accuracy. That's Jazz!...?" JULIAN JOSEPH (Reality, 1994) |
