“I think it takes a lot of trickery to keep up with the media and its perception of you. I don't know if I have it in me most of the time to care.

“Black people's music is in a class by itself and always has been. There's nothing like it. The reason for that is because it was not tampered with by white people. It was not on the media. It was not anywhere except where black people were. And it is one of the art forms in which black people decided what is good in it. Nobody told them. What surfaced and what floated to the top, were the giants and the best.” PeopleHas BeensArtReasonFormBlackWhiteClassMediaMusic IsDecidedGiantsBlack People Author:Toni Morrison

“The relationship that people have with music is entirely different now.

“I love touring, I love making records, but eventually all I want...I want to score. I want people to ask me to score their film or use my songs in cinematic ways.

“That's what it is-it's jazz. It's just jazz. That's what the whole thing is about to me. It's about what's happening right now in this context. This conversation is jazz to a certain extent.

That's what I don't like about the media-they're not living it.” WholeCertainMediaRight NowConversationMusic IsHappeningsJazzAppealsImprovisation Author:Van Morrison
