Jazz Stands For Freedom. It's Supposed To

The Secret Of A Great Melody Is A Secret.

There Are A Lot Of People On The Lowest Rung Of Jacob's Ladder, And We Must Somehow Reach Down, Give Them A Hand, And Make Them Want To Climb. A Little Really Good Music Never Hurt Anyone. And When People Are Given Good Music They Can Grow Spiritually And Even Discover They Like It.

I Think The Church Should Strive To Give Parishioners Good Music. Music Is As Necessary For Worship As A Building With A Beautiful Altar, Artwork, And Stained-glass Windows. Together They Create An Environment Conducive To Worship And Contemplation. We Are Not In Church For Entertainment, But To Worship.

Don't Be A Perfectionist... Leave That To The Classical Musicians.

Jazz Isn't Dead Yet. It's The Underpinning Of Everything In This Country. Whether It's A Broadway Show, Or Fusion, Or Right On Through Classical Music, If It's Coming Out Of The U.s., It's Not Going To Survive Unless It's Got Some Jazz Influence.
