We're Blues People. And Blues

Maybe The Preoccupation With Technological Progress Has Overshadowed Our Concern With Human Progress.

Blues Is Like The Roux In A Gumbo. People Ask Me If Jazz Always Has The Blues In It. I Say, If It Sounds Good It Does.

Sustained Intensity Equals Ecstacy.

We Fight For Territory. We See It In Our Congress, We See It In Our Political Systems, We See It In Our Ways Of Life, How Separated We Are. When We Moved Out Of The Cities And We Lost All Of The Memory That Was In Cities, And We - One Of The Highest Achievements In Our Culture Is To Be Able To Segregate Yourself From Everyone Else, And The Deep Thing Is The Deepest Punishment Is Solitary Confinement.

Nothing Else Will Ever Capture The Democratic Process In Sound As Perfectly As Jazz.
