It Is Always Possible To Create Something

Not Many Composers Have Ideas. Far More Of Them Know How To Use Strange Instruments Which Do Not Require Ideas.

Jazz I Regard As An American Folk Music; Not The Only One, But A Very Powerful One Which Is Probably In The Blood And Feeling Of The American People More Than Any Other Style Of Folk Music.

Music Sets Up Certain Vibration Which Unquestionably Results In A Physical Reaction. Eventually The Proper Vibration For Every Person Will Be Found And Utilized.

I Like To Think Of Music As An Emotional Science.

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.
