“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

“It's hard to put into words the impact of the perfect lyric, melody or contagious beat that moves you in an unexpected way.

“I'm a musician, and I'm fascinated with the effects of sound, and tone, and pitch and melody and all that sort of stuff. It's the first thing I have to solidify whenever...I get into a character.

“Well the artists that inspire me were, first of all I would say Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, John Holt, Alton Ellis, Errol Dunkley, Delroy Wilson and Dennis Brown you know. They have unique voice and sweet melody and you know, good lyrics those time yeh.

“I basically love classical music. I love a lot of musicians playing together and the whole culture of that whether it's Indian or it's Western. But in India, I think it's limited to filler music unfortunately. That's one thing I want to push in India where we have the infrastructure of an orchestra where you play Indian melodies with an orchestra and something different for a universal audience. It requires a lot of work from me.” ThinkingWantDifferentPlayWholeTogetherCultureAudienceOne ThingMusicianUniversalIndiaWesternIndianMelodyOrchestraInfrastructureClassical MusicFillersPlaying Together Author:A.

“I've always thought that I'm not really a guitar player, but I just practised so much that I developed into a kind of a bit of a musician, but I've often doubted my musical ear. If someone sings me a melody, I have to improvise on that melody, because I can't retain the information they've given me. That's why I still practise today, I suppose, because I still feel inadequate.” KindTodayPlayerMusicianMusicalMelodyInadequateDoubtedGuitar Player Author:Ritchie Blackmore
