"The trouble with most musicians today is that they are 
copycats. Of
course you have to start out playing like someone else. You 
have a
model, or a teacher, and you learn all that he can show you. 
But then
you start playing for yourself. Show them that you're an 
individual. I
can count those who are doing that today on the fingers of 
one hand."
-Lester Young (1909-1959)

"I'm the oldest bass player standin', I got shoes as old as 
you."
-Milt Hinton (1910-2000)

"I'm always making a comeback but nobody ever tells me where 
I've been."
-Billie Holiday (1915-1959)

"You don't see the European classical musicians allowing the 
music of
Bach, Brahms, or Beethoven to become extinct. That music has 
gone on for
centuries and centuries. We have the same obligation. Why 
have we become
so 'hip' that we can say,'Bebop is square,'or 'New Orleans 
is square'?
This, to me, is a shame."
-Rahsaan Roland Kirk (1936-1977)

"The boppers flat their fifths, we consume ours."
-Eddie Condon (1905-1973)
