– Pierre Boulez

We should always remember that sensitiveness and emotion constitute the real content of a work of art.

Humans are imperfect. That's one of the reasons that classical and jazz are in trouble. We're on the quest for the perfect performance and every note has to be right. Man, every note is not right in life.

– Branford Marsalis

Jazz is like a telescope, and a lot of other music is like a microscope.
