jazz is the musical way to get to know your inside without hurting yourself.
jazz is celebrating life, the diversity, the absurdity and nonsense, the magnificence and the meaning, the sensuality and the depth of being human. it deals with it. jazz is the greatest individualism. you're standing on the stage, and you say: "that's the way i do things".
jazz is like sitting at the table together with your best friends, after the macaroni, with those funny eyes, imitating rhoda scott playing hammond, barefoot singing "newseee oul a foooobe'".
it's all that jazz. thats what i need.
