It's precision, discipline, all those improvisations, nothing else like it in the world…
But they said jazz is dead.
But no, jazz isn't dead.
The musicians are dead.
They're the ones that are dead.
Jazz will never die.
But when musicians get so passive and everything and they can't play & improvise
what's happening in the universe, then of course they're dead and they make the music
dead.
Because a dead man can't play live music, you know that.
He can only be dead.
