Never complain and never explain.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Who seeks shall find.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Jazz is a very democratic musical form. It comes out of a communal experience. We take our respective instruments and collectively create a thing of beauty.
