Notes of Jazz: The Music, The Stories, The Players on edX.
Jazz Is …
- Jazz Swings and Rocks
「You know, in any sort of music, the bass and drums should work as one instrument. It determines whether it’s funk or jazz or country or rock ‘n’ roll. It all depends on what rhythms are coming from the bass and the drums that make a particular music what it is.」
by Christian McBride
- Jazz Is Spontaneous and Structured
「I’m a real believer in that creativity comes from limits not freedom. Freedom, I think, you don’t know what to do with yourself. But when you have a structure then you can improvise off it and feel confident enough to kind of come back to that.」
by Jon Stewart
