Jazz And Blues Quotes

Willie Nelson quote: "Where I grew up, Bob Wills and his western swing was very..."
Where I grew up, Bob Wills and his western swing was very popular. And western swing is not that far from jazz and blues. Willie Nelson
I use rock and jazz and blues rhythms because I love that music. I hope my poetry has a relationship with good-time rock'n roll. Adrian Mitchell
John Mayall quote: "Once you start collecting records you learn more and more..."
Once you start collecting records you learn more and more about jazz and blues. John Mayall
I'm a bluesman moving through a blues-soaked America, a blues-soaked world, a planet where catastrophe and celebration- joy and pain sit side by side. The blues started off in some field, some plantation, in some mind, in some imagination, in some heart. The blues blew over to the next plantation, and then the next state. The blues went south to north, got electrified and even sanctified. The blues got mixed up with jazz and gospel and rock and roll. Cornel West
I think we as a band, as individuals, understand that all popular music stems from blues and jazz and even pop, but rock 'n' roll especially comes from blues. David Johansen
I wanna show that gospel, country, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, rock 'n' roll are all just really one thing. Those are the American music and that is the American culture. Etta James
I listened to classical guitar and Spanish guitar, as well as jazz guitar players, rock and roll and blues. All of it. I did the same thing with my voice. Boz Scaggs
My folks have played everything from rock, disco, pop, funk, and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz, classical, and Latin. With all this in my pocket, I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences. Haley Reinhart
I'm not really a country singer, although I did make a couple albums and love its simple, straight-from-the-heart approach, but I have always sung a lot of jazz, show tunes, pop tunes, gospel and blues. Dinah Shore
You can't seperate modern jazz from rock or from rhythm and blues - you can't seperate it. Because that's where it all started, and that's where it all come from - that's where I learned to keep rhythm - in church. Art Blakey
The whole world loves American movies, blue jeans, jazz and rock and roll. It is probably a better way to get to know our country than by what politicians or airline commercials represent. Billy Joel
Christina Aguilera quote: "Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty..."
Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion. Christina Aguilera
Alexis Korner quote: "Blues and jazz pulled me away from what was left of my family."
Blues and jazz pulled me away from what was left of my family. Alexis Korner
The blues is the foundation, and it's got to carry the top. The other part of the scene, the rock 'n' roll and the jazz, are the walls of the blues. Luther Allison
I like a very dark house, just black. I sit there and just think. Once I'm still and quiet inside, I'll begin. It's very personal; it has to be. One song may be Bach, the next blues, a song from TV, or a nursery rhyme or jazz piece. Bobby McFerrin
