About This Quote

I am a big fan of jazz, but it is hard to find anyone who shares my love for the music. To me, jazz is sort of like a secret language where each musician has their own way of playing. For example, I know that most guys will prefer the sound of the bass. They are concerned with keeping time and keeping the beat flowing.

I am more inclined to look for the sounds that are unique to each musician. If you are a fan of jazz, then you have probably heard musicians play what are called “chops” or “licks”. These are little musical phrases that they play on top of the melody.

There are many different types of these phrases and each one can be played in different ways depending on how fast or slow they are played. The sound is very distinctive and it will be something you will recognize as being played by a particular musician.
