“I think jazz was just seeking respect and validity because a lot of people didn't believe it was a viable art form, and then they got a lot of attention in Europe. A lot of bands that can't catch flies in the US have these followings in Europe, [but] it's less and less the case. American audiences are way more sophisticated and adventurous than anyone thinks that they are.” PeopleThinkingWayBelieveArtFormAttentionCasesAudienceBandEuropeJazzSeekingFollowingSophisticatedAdventurousValidity Author:Andrew Bird

They are a very educated audience.” KnowsYearsWellsMeanSongAudienceMiddleSittingEuropeSevenIncrediblesEducatedDiverseNinetyHere And ThereIntegratedColonization Author:Patti Austin

“I think I got disappointed over the years about New York, about the States. You know, sometimes you go and visit Europe and see good old socialism in its good part!

“This film business, perhaps more so in America than in Europe, has always been about young sexuality. It's not true of theatre, but in America, film audiences are young.
