I Like To Think Of Music As An Emotional Science.

Gershwin's Tragedy Was Not That He Failed To Cross The Tracks, But Rather That He Did, And Once There In His New Habitat, Was Deprived Of The Chance To Plunge His Roots Firmly Into The New Soil.

When Jazz Is Played In Another Nation, It Is Called American. When It Is Played In Another Country, It Sounds False. Jazz Is The Result Of The Energy Stored Up In America.

Modern European Composers...have Very Largely Received Their Stimulus, Their Rhythms And Impulses From Machine Age America. They Have A Much Older Tradition Of Musical Technique Which Has Helped Them Put Into Musical Terms A Little More Clearly The Thoughts That Originated Here. They Can Express Themselves More Glibly.

For Suddenly, I Saw You There And Through Foggy London Town The Sun Was Shining Everywhere.
