“Jazz is not a game of chance. Its sonorous disorder is only an appearance. It is an organized force obeying obscure laws, conforming to a secret technique, codified or not, and we discover that no one can become a virtuoso on the spur of the moment in this orchestra of 'noisemakers.” MomentsLawGamesForceChanceSecretMusicJazzAppearanceTechniqueOrganizedDisorderObscureConformOrchestraSpursObeyingVirtuosoSpur Of The Moment Author:Wanda Landowska
“For the moment, the jazz is playing; there is no melody, just notes, a myriad tiny tremors. The notes know no rest, an inflexibleorder gives birth to them then destroys them, without ever leaving them the chance to recuperate and exist for themselves.... I would like to hole them back, but I know that, if I succeeded in stooping one, there would only remain in may hand a corrupt and languishing sound. I must accept their death; I must even want that death: I know of few more bitter or intense impressions.” IfsKnowsWantGivingMayMomentsHandsSoundChanceAcceptingMusicBirthMusicianJazzNotesLeavingTinyHolesImpressionIntenseBitterMelody Author:Jean-Paul Sartre
