Jazz

"Jazz is intelligent music. Jazz is about feeling, communication, honesty and soul. Jazz can be soft or hard, heavy or light, cool or hot, bright or dark. Jazz moves you. Jazz demands sensitivety, spontaneity and flexibility on the part of performers and listeners alike. The magic of the jazz experience lies in its irreplicability. Every sound is precious because it will never again be played (or heard) in precisely the same way, at the same moment, in the same place, with the same feeling.

      Each song implies a basic mood. Each tune establishes an overall theme. After that it is up to us, as improvising musicians, to take these themes and weave them into personalized, inspired, spontaneous narratives. And it is up to you, as listeners, to take these moods and use them as windows to your own souls".

Joshua Redman, 1994
