"Fortunately,
I live in the United States of America, where we are gradually coming
to understand that nothing we do is ever our fault, especially if it is
really stupid."
Excerpt From 'What Happened To Jazz'
(unknown author)

"Ah, the jazz years were sweet, and we had a good
run.
We partied all night and we hid from the sun.
We drank lots of booze, smoked grass by the ton,
Played games with the chicks and quite often won.
Life was a ball---playing music was fun.
I guess we did it all. It all seems to be done.

Be-bop to Hip-Hop in fifty short years.
You can't call that progress, not if you have ears."
