Harmony Quotes

I haven't got a great jazz band and I don't want one. Some of the critics, Down Beat's among them, point their fingers at us and charge us with forsaking real jazz . . .

It is beyond question closely akin to that which has possessed the religious geniuses of all ages.

Martin Luther
