About This Quote

A jazz musician always has his instrument in his hand. He does not just follow the rules. Improvisation is essential to his music. He finds his own way to make it sound good, using the whole time on the instrument, even when he is playing something he has never heard before. He finds sounds and feelings that can be used for his own music.
