“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

“Jazz is the music of the body. The breath comes through brass. It is the body's breath, and the strings' wails and moans are echoes of the body's music. It is the body's vibrations which ripple from the fingers. And the mystery of the withheld theme, known to jazz musicians alone, is like the mystery of our secret life. We give to others only peripheral improvisations.” GivingBodySecretKnownMysteryMusicianBreathsJazzFingersThemeStringsEchoesVibrationsJazz MusicImprovisationRippleSecret LifeBrassJazz Musician Author:Anais Nin
